An improved switch for power factor correction circuits includes a
six-terminal switch which has a first inductor connecting to a selection
line which has a first switch terminal and a second switch terminal, and
a second inductor connecting to a conductive line. When the switch is at
a first position, the selection line is connected to the first switch
terminal, and the conductive line is closed to determine the first and
second inductors in a parallel coupling condition and the power
conversion circuit in a first duty condition. When the switch is at a
second position, the selection line is connected to the second switch
terminal and the conductive line is open to determine the first and
second inductors in a serial coupling condition, and the power conversion
circuit in a second duty condition.
