A power factor correcting eletrical converter apparatus receives an alternating electrical input signal from a power source. The apparatus preferably includes an input tracking circuit connected with the power source for tracking the input signal and providing the input signal at an input tracking node. The converter apparatus includes a rectifying circuit connected with the power source for receiving the input signal and generating a rectified input signal, and a filtering circuit connected with the rectifying circuit to filter and smooth the rectified input signal. An input sensing circuit is connected with the input tracking circuit for receiving the input signal and generating an input-indicating signal at an input-sensing node. An output circuit is connected with the filtering circuit for delivering the rectified boost signal to a load. The output circuit senses an electrical parameter associated with the load to produce an output-indicating signal at an output-sensing node. A feedback circuit is connected with the input-sensing node and with the output-sensing node for receiving the input-indicating signal and the output-indicating signal and generating a gating signal. The output circuit responds to the gating signal to switchingly control connection with the load. The input sensing circuit or the feedback circuit may be configured to impose a delay which causes the input-indicating signal to be out of phase with the input signal. The phase shift reduces input current distortion and increases input power factor.
