Abstract
A totem pole PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit, having: a first switch, a second switch and a control circuit. When the totem pole PFC circuit works in CCM (Continuous Current Mode), the control circuit is configured to turn on a main switch when a current detecting signal indicative of an AC input current of the totem pole PFC circuit decreases to a current valley reference signal, and keep the main switch ON for a first on-time period. When the totem pole PFC circuit works in DCM (Discontinuous Current Mode), the control circuit is configured to turn on the main switch at a valley of a switching voltage after expiry of a time delay started from when the AC input current decreases to zero, and keep the main switch ON for a second on-time period.
