title = "Bidirectional bridgeless PFC with reduced input current distortion and switching loss using gate skipping technique",
abstract = "Bidirectional bridgeless PFC is an advantageous topology for high power application among many bridgeless PFCs due to small EMI filter size and no reverse recovery problem. However due to the large junction capacitance of secondary leg's diodes, the dead angle is shown in the zero-crossing area. Thus, the input current distortion is intensified, and the unnecessary switching loss decreases the efficiency. In this paper, a simple gate skipping technique is implemented to the zero-crossing area of the bidirectional bridgeless PFC. As a result, the unnecessary switching loss of boost switches and the input current distortion are reduced. The improvement of the proposed method is verified by experimental results with the high line input and 800W(400V/2A) output prototype.",
