Abstract(in English) AC-DC conversion circuits are used in many electrical devices and must convert AC voltage to stable DC voltage. They also need to comply with harmonic standards, which are strictly regulated worldwide due to environmental considerations. Normally, an AC-DC converter circuit consists of a two-stage power conversion circuit: a power factor correction (PFC) circuit that improves the power factor while converting AC voltage to DC voltage, and an isolated DC-DC converter that steps down that voltage to the voltage required by the load. In this circuit configuration, the voltage boost in the PFC circuit causes large losses in the transformer with a high step-down ratio. Therefore, this paper proposes a PFC circuit that can convert the voltage required by the load in a single stage and satisfies harmonic standards. Simulation results show that the power efficiency is up to 95% and the power factor is up to 0.997.
