In this article a new bridgeless BL buck boost power factor correction PFC converter using pulsewidth modulation PWM control is presented The introduced structure operates in a discontinuous conduction mode DCM to achieve the sinusoidal form of the input current inherently The proposed converter utilizes a simple zero voltage transition ZVT circuit in which the auxiliary switch is turned on and off under zero current switching ZCS condition and the main switches turn on and off under zero voltage switching ZVS Moreover all diodes are turned off under ZCS conditions and the reverse recovery problem is solved By reducing the number of semiconductor elements in the current flow path conduction loss is minimized Also the proposed structure utilizes only one magnetic element The above mentioned advantages along with a low total harmonic distortion THD and high efficiency are the main benefits of the proposed structure compared to previous topologies In addition unlike the BL buck converter the input current dead angle is omitted without adding any extra components Finally a 500 W 100 kHz prototype at 90 265 Vrms input and 96 V output is implemented to verify the theoretical analysis and it illustrates the efficiency of 97 35 and the input current THD is about 2 7 at 220 Vrms input voltage
