Abstract
A totem-pole PFC circuit and a control method thereof are provided. The circuit includes an AC power source, first and second bridge arms and a controller. The first bridge arm includes first and second switches electrically connected in series with a connection node electrically connected to a first terminal of the AC power source. The second bridge arm includes third and fourth switches electrically connected in series with a connection node electrically connected to a second terminal of the AC power source. When a potential at the first terminal is higher than a potential at the second terminal, the controller turns off the fourth switch if the L-phase voltage is lower than a first threshold voltage. When the potential at the first terminal is lower than the potential at the second terminal, the controller turns off the third switch if the L-phase voltage is higher than a second threshold voltage.
