The Interleaved Boost PFC Converter (Figure45)hasacoupleofboostconvertersconnected inparallelandworking in180◦out ofphase [104–106]. The ripple currentsof the inductors cancel eachother. This configurationalso providestwicetheeffectiveswitchingfrequencyandprovidesa lowerripple in inputcurrent, resulting ina relatively small EMIfilter [103,107]. InBridgeless/DualBoostPFCConverter (Figure 46), the gatingsignalsaremade identicalherebytyingthepower-trainswitches. TheMOSFETgatesarenot madedecoupled. Rectifier inputbridge isnotneededhere.
