This paper proposes a bridgeless half-bridge AC-DC converter with high-efficiency. The proposed converter integrates the bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) circuit with the asymmetrical pulse-width modulated (APWM) half-bridge DC-DC converter. It provides the isolated DC output voltage from the AC line voltage without using any full-bridge diode rectifier. Conduction losses are lowered with a simple circuit structure. Switching losses are also reduced by achieving zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the power switches. By using series-connected two transformers, the proposed converter provides a low-profile and high power density for AC-DC converters. The performance of the proposed converter is verified from a 250 W (48 V / 5.2 A) experimental prototype circuit at line voltage.
