Abstract
In this paper, a new power factor correction circuit(PFC) based on a soft-switched boost scheme is proposed. Except for some soft-switching transition intervals, it operates exactly like the conventional boost scheme. Thus the desirable features of both high efficiency and easy control can be obtained. The design guidelines are suggested to achieve high efficiency. To verify the superior performance of the proposed circuit, experiment and simulation is carried out.
