Abstract :
This paper proposes the application of a multiresonant boost converter for active power factor correction. A simple and straightforward control method is introduced featuring true zero-voltage switching at sinusoidal input current. Experimental results show high efficiency despite high switching frequencies, while the voltage stress on the devices remains moderate
