چکیده
Liang Zhou, member IEEE and YiFeng Wu, member IEEE Transphorm, Inc. 75 Castilian Dr., Goleta, CA, 93117 USA [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a true bridgeless totem-pole Power-Factor-Correction (PFC) circuit using GaN HEMT. Enabled by a diode-free GaN power HEMT bridge with low reverse-recovery charge, very-high-efficiency single-phase AC-DC conversion is realized using a totem-pole topology without the limit of forward voltage drop from a fast diode. When implemented with a pair of sync-rec MOSFETs for line rectification, 99% efficiency is achieved at 230V ac input and 400 dc output in continuous-current mode.
