Abstract
Provided is a power factor correction circuit correcting a power factor of AC voltage. The power factor correction circuit includes: a rectifying unit stopping rectifying the AC voltage in a transient state and generating an rectified voltage by rectifying the AC voltage in a steady state; a power factor correction unit generating a power-factor-corrected voltage by correcting the rectified voltage; a smoothing unit generating a smoothed voltage by smoothing the power-factor-corrected voltage; and an inrush current limiting unit providing a limited current by limiting an inrush current generated by the AC voltage in the transient state and stopping providing a current to the smoothing unit.
