In order to implement a high-efficiency bridgeless power factor correction converter a new topology and operation principles ofcontinuous conduction mode (CCM) and DC steady-state character of the converter are analyzed which show that the converternot only has bipolar-gain characteristic but also has the same characteristic as the traditional Boost converter while the voltagetransfer ratio is not related with the resonant branch parameters and switching frequency Based on the above topology a novelbridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter is proposed With this converter the diode rectifier bridge of traditional AC-DC converter is eliminated and zero-current switching of fast recovery diode is achievedThus the efficiency is improved Next wealso propose the one-cycle control policy of this converter Finally experiments are provided to verify the accuracy and feasibilityof the proposed converter
1 Introduction
A great number of harmonic currents which are caused bynonlinear loads connected to grid aremain pollution sourcesof power system and important factors in the safe operationof the grid In order to reduce the harmonic pollution theactive power filter (APF) and power factor correction (PFC)are required which are applied to control the harmonic andreactive current generated from rectifier loads PFC convertercan realize the AC input current control and DC outputvoltage control at the same frequency and phase with ACvoltage and thus it is widely used in server power [1ndash8]charger UPS and so on Traditional PFC converter includesa front-end bridge rectifier which increases conductionloss and greatly affects the efficiency of the PFC converterMoreover more serious loss is generated under low inputvoltage and light load particularly [5 9ndash13]
In order to improve efficiency of the traditional PFCconverter an effective method named as bridgeless PFCtechnology without front-end bridge rectifier is proposed[3 14 15] Then the bridgeless PFC converter is proposed in[1ndash18] which uses two switches instead of the uncontrolled
diodes When AC input voltage is in positive half-cyclethe front bridge leg of the converter operations while ACinput voltage is in negative half-cycle the rear bridge legoperations The papers report that the bridgeless PFC con-verter adopts the same two DC-DC converters to implementthe power conversion for positive and negative half-cycleof AC input voltage respectively Another bridgeless PFCconverter makes the input voltage greater than zero at firstand then obtains steady output voltage through the DC-DC converter All of these bridgeless PFC converters havea higher cost require complex topology and may lead toserious electromagnetic inference (EMI) [3 13ndash18]
In this paper we research a novel Pseudo-Boost converterwhich has bipolar-gain characteristic that is no matter ifthe input voltage is positive or negative the output voltageis always positive and the converter also has the samecharacteristic as the traditional Boost converter Althoughthe converter has a resonant branch the difference fromthe traditional resonant converter is that the voltage transferratio is not relevant to the resonant branch parameters andswitching frequency it only depends on the switching dutycycle Based on the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter

a bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter incontinuous conduction mode (CCM) is investigated Theconverter adopts one bidirectional controllable switch andtwo fast-recovery diodes instead of bridge rectifier andthe zero-current switching of the fast-recovery diodes isachieved Therefore the efficiency of the converter isimproved Meanwhile the one-cycle control technology isadopted to control the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFCconverter
2 Operation Principle of Bipolar-GainPseudo-Boost Converter
The topology of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converterconsists of switch 119878 two recovery diodes119863

capacitor 119862119903 and resonant inductor 119871
119903 as in Figure 1 When
the input voltage is positive or negative the output voltageof traditional Boost converter is the corresponding polarityCompared with the traditional one the output voltage ofBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter is just positive that isthe Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost has bipolar-gain characteris-tic To simplify the analysis of the operation of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter the following assumptions aremade
(a) All of the switches diodes inductors and capacitorsare ideal
(b) Output capacitor 119862119900is large enough to make the
output voltage keep constant in a switching cycle(c) Resonant inductor 119871
119903and resonant capacitor 119862
119903
are much smaller than the inductor 119871 and outputcapacitor 119862
119900 respectively
(d) The converter operates in CCM
21 Positive Input Voltage The operation modes of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter operate in CCM with positiveinput voltage (Figure 2) The corresponding key waveformsof the converter are shown in Figure 3 At the beginning ofeach switching cycle the resonant inductor current 119894

at 119905 = 1199050 the switch 119878 is turned on The voltage across the
inductor 119871 is equal to input voltage Vin whichmakes inductorcurrent increase linearly The resonant capacitor voltage V

provide the path for the inductor current 119894119871 The diode 119863
1is
reversely biased and the voltage across it is equal to minusV119888 and
the inductor 119871 is then discharged and capacitor119862119900is charged
As 119871119903≪ 119871 119871

3 The Steady-State Analysis of Bipolar-GainPseudo-Boost Converter
There are four state variables in Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boostconverter One is the energy storage state variable (V
119888 119894119871)
in which the natural frequency is much lower than theswitching frequency The other one is the resonant statevariables (V
119888119903
119894119871119903
) in which the natural frequency is closeto the switching frequency According to the generalizedstate space averaging (GSSA) approach the GSSA equationof the converter can be established which chooses V
119888 119894119871as
state variables Based on the GSSA equation the steady-statecharacteristic can be analyzed

The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter
According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878
1combined with 119878
2instead of controllable
switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs
From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows
(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage
(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

VinRMS = 50V V119888= 100V 119862 = 470 120583F 119891line = 50Hz 119891 =
50 kHz 119871 = 25mH 119871119903= 78 120583H and 119862
119903= 330 nF
Figure 8 shows the input voltage input current andoutput voltage waveforms of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with 119875
119900= 100W It can be observed
from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is
constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction
Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V

proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode

3 The Steady-State Analysis of Bipolar-GainPseudo-Boost Converter
There are four state variables in Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boostconverter One is the energy storage state variable (V
119888 119894119871)
in which the natural frequency is much lower than theswitching frequency The other one is the resonant statevariables (V
119888119903
119894119871119903
) in which the natural frequency is closeto the switching frequency According to the generalizedstate space averaging (GSSA) approach the GSSA equationof the converter can be established which chooses V
119888 119894119871as
state variables Based on the GSSA equation the steady-statecharacteristic can be analyzed

Figure 6 The topology of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-BoostPFC converter
4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter
The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter
According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878
1combined with 119878
2instead of controllable
switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs
From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows
(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage
(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

has nothing to do withresonant inductor 119871
119903 ΔV119888119903
is too large to increase the switchvoltage stress so larger resonant 119862

period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant
capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862
119900
However the resonant capacitor 119862119903is too small to result in
zero-crossing distortion and it must satisfy V119888gt ΔV119888119903

from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is
constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction
Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V

There are four state variables in Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boostconverter One is the energy storage state variable (V
119888 119894119871)
in which the natural frequency is much lower than theswitching frequency The other one is the resonant statevariables (V
119888119903
119894119871119903
) in which the natural frequency is closeto the switching frequency According to the generalizedstate space averaging (GSSA) approach the GSSA equationof the converter can be established which chooses V

state variables Based on the GSSA equation the steady-statecharacteristic can be analyzed

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter
The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter
According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878
1combined with 119878
2instead of controllable
switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs
From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows
(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage
(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

has nothing to do withresonant inductor 119871
119903 ΔV119888119903
is too large to increase the switchvoltage stress so larger resonant 119862
119903and smaller switching
period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant
capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862
119900
However the resonant capacitor 119862119903is too small to result in
zero-crossing distortion and it must satisfy V119888gt ΔV119888119903

119903= 330 nF
Figure 8 shows the input voltage input current andoutput voltage waveforms of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with 119875
119900= 100W It can be observed
from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is
constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction
Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V

proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode

According to (10) and (17) no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the voltage transfer ratios of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter keep the same The converterhas the same Boost characteristic as the traditional Boostconverter In addition the voltage transfer ratio does not relyon the resonant branch parameters and switching frequencywhich is determined only by the switching duty cycle

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter
The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter
According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878
1combined with 119878
2instead of controllable
switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs
From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows
(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage
(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

has nothing to do withresonant inductor 119871
119903 ΔV119888119903
is too large to increase the switchvoltage stress so larger resonant 119862
119903and smaller switching
period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant
capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862
119900
However the resonant capacitor 119862119903is too small to result in
zero-crossing distortion and it must satisfy V119888gt ΔV119888119903

119903119862119903 Thus a suitable

119890is the equivalent input resistor of

voltage of the bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFCconverter is steady moreover the input current that is 119894
119871will
maintain sinusoidal and thus the purpose of PFC is achieved
6 Experiment Verification
In order to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis aset of experiments are designed According to (18)ndash(20) theparameters of experiment circuit are as follows 119875

VinRMS = 50V V119888= 100V 119862 = 470 120583F 119891line = 50Hz 119891 =
50 kHz 119871 = 25mH 119871119903= 78 120583H and 119862
119903= 330 nF
Figure 8 shows the input voltage input current andoutput voltage waveforms of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with 119875
119900= 100W It can be observed
from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is
constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction
Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V
119888= 100V It can be seen that the
proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode

According to (10) and (17) no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the voltage transfer ratios of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter keep the same The converterhas the same Boost characteristic as the traditional Boostconverter In addition the voltage transfer ratio does not relyon the resonant branch parameters and switching frequencywhich is determined only by the switching duty cycle

4 The Implementation of BridgelessBipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost Converter
The voltage transfer ratio of traditional DC-DC converteris unipolar which means that it only makes positive andnegative input voltage transfer to positive output voltageHowever the PFC converter belongs to AC-DC converterwhich makes AC input voltage transfer to DC output voltageHence the traditional DC-DC converter cannot be usedas PFC converter To realize PFC the most direct wayis combining a front-end bridge rectifier with a DC-DCconverter Assume that the voltage transfer ratio of DC-DCconverter is bipolar that is no matter if the input voltageis positive or negative the output voltage is always positiveThis DC-DC converter can realize AC-DC transformationwhich eliminates the bridge of traditional AC-DC converterand improves the efficiency of the converter
According to the steady state characteristic of Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter it is shown that the converterhas bipolar-gain characteristic So the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter can be used as PFC converter From Figure 6the bridgeless PFC converter can be achieved by using bidi-rectional switch 119878
1combined with 119878
2instead of controllable
switching 119878 of the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter Theconverter has some advantages such as simple topology highefficiency and simple controlled circuit Compared with thedouble bridge-leg bridgeless PFC converter researched inpaper [3 14ndash16] the converter has reduced the EMI dueto common-grounded input and output Compared withthe bridgeless PFC converter proposed in paper [3 13ndash17]the Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost converter has improved theutilization ratio and reduced the costs
From the preceding analysis the achievement conditionsof bridge Pseudo-Boost PFC converter are as follows
(1) From Figures 3 and 5 a two-way switch is neededbecause the switch 119878 should suffer positive and neg-ative voltage
(2) The choice of inductor 119871 to guarantee that theconverter operates in CCM the inductor 119871 mustsatisfy

From (19) the choice of ΔV119888119903
has nothing to do withresonant inductor 119871
119903 ΔV119888119903
is too large to increase the switchvoltage stress so larger resonant 119862
119903and smaller switching
period 119879119904should be chosen with the condition that resonant
capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862
119900
However the resonant capacitor 119862119903is too small to result in
zero-crossing distortion and it must satisfy V119888gt ΔV119888119903

119903= 2120587radic119871
119903119862119903 Thus a suitable
resonant inductor 119871119903should be chosen with respect to (19)
when the resonant inductor 119871119903is much smaller than the
Boost inductor 119871

voltage of the bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFCconverter is steady moreover the input current that is 119894
119871will
maintain sinusoidal and thus the purpose of PFC is achieved
6 Experiment Verification
In order to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis aset of experiments are designed According to (18)ndash(20) theparameters of experiment circuit are as follows 119875
119900= 100W
VinRMS = 50V V119888= 100V 119862 = 470 120583F 119891line = 50Hz 119891 =
50 kHz 119871 = 25mH 119871119903= 78 120583H and 119862
119903= 330 nF
Figure 8 shows the input voltage input current andoutput voltage waveforms of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with 119875
119900= 100W It can be observed
from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is
constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction
Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V
119888= 100V It can be seen that the
proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode

From (19) the choice of ΔV119888119903
has nothing to do withresonant inductor 119871
119903 ΔV119888119903
is too large to increase the switchvoltage stress so larger resonant 119862
119903and smaller switching

capacitor 119862119903is much smaller than output capacitor 119862
119900
However the resonant capacitor 119862119903is too small to result in

119890is the equivalent input resistor of
the bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter and119877119904is the sampling resistor of inductor currentWhen (21) is applied at each switching cycle the output
voltage of the bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFCconverter is steady moreover the input current that is 119894
119871will
maintain sinusoidal and thus the purpose of PFC is achieved
6 Experiment Verification
In order to verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis aset of experiments are designed According to (18)ndash(20) theparameters of experiment circuit are as follows 119875
119900= 100W
VinRMS = 50V V119888= 100V 119862 = 470 120583F 119891line = 50Hz 119891 =
50 kHz 119871 = 25mH 119871119903= 78 120583H and 119862
119903= 330 nF
Figure 8 shows the input voltage input current andoutput voltage waveforms of bridgeless Bipolar-Gain Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with 119875
119900= 100W It can be observed
from Figure 8 that the output voltage of the converter V119888is
constant and the input current 119894in closely follows the inputvoltage Vin to realize power factor correction
Figure 9 shows the efficiency curve of bridgeless Pseudo-Boost PFC converter with V
119888= 100V It can be seen that the
proposed converter has relatively high efficiencyFigures 10(a) and 10(b) show the switch voltage diode
