Abstract:
A power factor correction circuit and an electronic product including the same are disclosed. This technology configures a bridgeless circuit with no rectifier diode by using an additional switch, eliminating conduction loss due to the diode and reducing common mode EMI noise of the power factor correction circuit. A power factor correction circuit includes at least one inductor directly connected to an AC input stage, an output capacitor to smooth the output voltage, first switching elements to control current to store magnetic energy in the inductor, and a second switching element to maintain a substantially constant voltage between a ground voltage of an AC input stage and a ground voltage of an output stage.
