Abstract: In this article, two high step-down bridgeless power factor correction rectifiers based on the switched inductor network (SIN) are introduced. The proposed rectifiers employ the SIN to provide high step-down voltage gain with a higher duty cycle than the competitors. They also offer higher efficiency, lower current stress, and total peak switching device powers. A thorough and straightforward design algorithm in the discontinuous conduction mode is provided that ensures a unity power factor and a low total harmonic distortion with a simple control scheme. As a demonstration of the superior performance of the proposed rectifiers, a 300-W high-gain sepic rectifier setup with 48Vdc output voltage from a 230Vrms/50Hz source is built in the laboratory.
