In order to improve the power factor and reduce the input current harmonics, power factor correction (PFC) converters are utilized. This paper introduces a single-stage continuous conduction mode (CCM) soft-switched power factor correction (PFC) converter with a tandem topology. The proposed topology has two operating modes, namely resonant operation mode and boost operation mode. Such a design and control realizes the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) of the power switches. The proposed topology has been introduced to reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the input current further in the boost PFC converter under lower power and higher output voltage conditions. The simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the effectiveness of the performance of the proposed design and its control.

In this paper, a new family of single-stage AC/DC power factor correction converters (S2PFCC), which possesses reduced voltage stress across the storage capacitor and no extra current stress on the power switch, is proposed. The converters are realized by reduced repeated power processing concept in which part of the input power is transferred to the load directly after the first power process. This results in lower storage capacitor voltage than that of previously developed S2PFCCs but maintaining high power factor. In addition, the inherent input current control allows the load current to reduce the input line current automatically when the load becomes light, preventing excessive amount of energy being stored in the storage capacitor. Although the proposed converters employed two power switches, a simple single-loop controller for the proposed S2PFCC to achieve power factor correction (PFC) and tight output regulation is also proposed. Experimental results are reported to verify the operation and concept of the new S2PFCC.
