A totem-pole bridgeless PFC conversion device includes a conversion unit, a control unit, a current detecting unit and a phase detecting unit. When the control unit determines that a peak value of an input current is within a predetermined interval between a positive current value and a negative current value based on a current signal of the current detecting unit and a phase signal of the phase detecting unit, the control unit controls the conversion unit to operate in a discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). When the control unit determines that the peak value of the input current is not within the predetermined interval, the control unit controls the conversion unit to operate in a critical conduction mode (CRM).
