  • Abstract
    In high power factor AC-to-DC applications, boost power converters operating on the boundary of continuous mode and discontinuous mode switch with variable frequency and draw high peak input currents. A method is presented to parallel two or more of these power converters to reduce the high peak input currents. Each power converter continues to operate on the boundary of continuous mode and discontinuous mode and maintains the benefits of zero-voltage switching
