Bridgeless PFC power converter with reduced EMI noise
A bridgeless PFC boost converter has either a single switching cell or two identical switching cells configured to operate 180 degrees out of phase. A switching cell includes first and second transistor switches coupled to opposing ends of an input AC voltage source, and first and second rectifying diodes, one rectifying diode coupled in series to each of the two transistor switches. A boost inductor is coupled to a junction node between each transistor switch and rectifying diode series. Either a third rectifying diode or a third transistor switch is coupled to a junction node between the input AC voltage source and the first transistor switch. Either a fourth rectifying diode or a fourth transistor switch is coupled to a junction node between the input AC voltage source and the second transistor switch. The rectifying diodes are coupled an output capacitor. Two switching cells can be interleaved.
