A PFC circuit comprises a first converter and a second converter and a
multi-port electromagnetic device. The first converter has a first
inductive element and the second converter has a second inductive
element. The multi-port electromagnetic device comprises a first magnetic
core having a first closed flux path and a second magnetic core having a
second closed flux path, with the first closed flux path being
independent of the second closed flux path. The first inductive element
of the first boost circuit comprises a first winding that
electromagnetically couples the first magnetic core to the second
magnetic core and the second inductive element of the second boost
circuit comprises a second winding that electromagnetically couples the
first magnetic core to the second magnetic core independent of the
electromagnetic coupling of the first winding such that current
application in one windings does not induce a substantial voltage in the
other.
