A current sampling circuit for a bridgeless power factor corrector is provided. The current sampling circuit comprises a sampling resistor, a first and second current sampling modules. In the first and second current sampling modules, primary windings of transformers are respectively serially connected to a first and second fast switches of the bridgeless power factor corrector. In a positive half cycle of the AC power, a second sampled current phase switching unit is turned on to form a second sampling circuit, and a first main current freewheeling unit is turned on to form a freewheeling path of a first transformer. In a negative half cycle of the AC power, a first sampled current phase switching unit is turned on to form a first sampling circuit, and a second main current freewheeling unit is turned on to form a freewheeling path of a second transformer.

Current sampling circuit for bridgeless power factor corrector

A power supply having ORing MOSFETs mounts a voltage regulating unit between a main power module and an auxiliary power module of a secondary side of the power supply. The voltage regulating unit regulates a control voltage received by a driving unit, such that a voltage difference between a gate voltage and a source voltage of one of the ORing MOSFETs can be less than a rated voltage threshold for avoiding damaging the one ORing MOSFET.
