Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report how a combination of a totem-pole bridgeless PFC converter and an LLC converter can achieve a high-efficiency power supply operating at 500 kHz, and to compare the stress and losses in the circuit between the proposed GaN-based and conventional Si-based devices. From the experimental point of view, under the proposed topology, the operating loss of the Si-based devices (21.98W) was higher than that of the GaN-based device (4.13W), and the power supply could reach 97.5% efficiency.
