Abstract: An alternating current-direct current (AC-DC) converter includes: an input AC power supply that outputs an input AC voltage; a step-up converter that converts the input AC voltage into an output DC voltage to be outputted from an output capacitor; and an inrush current suppressing circuit. The inrush current suppressing circuit includes: an inrush current suppressing resistor provided on a path through which a current from the input AC power supply flows to charge the output capacitor and returns to the input AC power supply; a resistance short-circuiting switch that short-circuits the inrush current suppressing resistor; and a control circuit that generates a signal for turning off the resistance short-circuiting switch when an absolute value of the input AC voltage is higher than the output DC voltage.

Abstract: A power-factor correcting converter includes: a series circuit including a first higher-potential switch and a first lower-potential switch connected in series to each other; and another series circuit including a second higher-potential switch and a second lower-potential switch connected in series to each other. In a positive phase period of the input AC voltage, a control circuit turns off the second higher-potential switch, turns on the second lower-potential switch, and alternately turns on and off the first lower-potential switch as a master switch and the first higher-potential switch as a slave switch. In a negative phase period of the input AC voltage, the control circuit reverses the on/off operation and the master/slave relationship, and turns on and off only the master switch and turns off the slave switch when the absolute value of the input AC voltage is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value.
