A bridgeless power factor correction converter that can reduce common-mode
noise and enhance power density is made up of a boost inductor coupled to
an input end, a bidirectional switch connected in series with the boost
inductor, a first series rectifying circuit having a junction node
connected between the boost inductor and the bi-directional switch, a
second series rectifying circuit connected in parallel with the first
series rectifying circuit and having a junction node coupled to the
bi-directional switch, and an output capacitor connected in parallel with
the second series rectifying circuit, in which the second series
rectifying circuit is made up of slow-recovery diodes and the first
series rectifying circuit is made up of fast-recovery diodes.
