Abstract
A totem-pole PFC and a current-sampling unit of the totem-pole PFC are provided. The totem-pole PFC is electrically connected to an AC power source and a DC-to-DC converter, and is electrically connected to a load through the DC-to-DC converter. The current-sampling unit has a first sampling switch and a second sampling switch. The first sampling switch and the second sampling switch are controlled to be turned on and turned off so that a magnetizing current flows through the magnetizing inductor when a magnetizing inductor is magnetized and a demagnetizing current does not flow through the sampling resistor when the magnetizing inductor is demagnetized, thereby increasing the demagnetization efficiency and overcoming superimposed operations to improve current detection and increase conversion efficiency of the power conversion.
