AC to DC converters are the key component in battery chargers of plug in hybrid electric vehicle. DC to DC converter in the above mentioned charger will step up or step down the voltage according to the requirement of the battery. Conventional power factor corrected boost converter used for the purpose of AC to DC conversion have disadvantages like low power factor and high value of total harmonic distortion. These disadvantages can be eliminated in Bridgeless Interleaved power factor corrected boost converter. Self commutating devices are used in these converters for the purpose of switching according to load rating. A protection circuit is provided which will isolate the converter from supply when current in load goes above the rated value of load current.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise in time and frequency mixed domains is analyzed to understand the influence of noise source behavior on the conducted emissions in boost converters. The switching characteristics of a sillicon PiN diode and a sillicon carbide Schottky barrier diode in a boost converter are compared and evaluated as EMI noise sources, and the influence of diode switching operation on the generation and attenuation of conducted emissions are discussed on the basis of spectrogram analysis.

Active power-factor correction (PFC) circuits are commonly used in the first stage of single-phase AC/DC power converters to improve the power factor and low-order harmonic distortion. In continuous current mode (CCM) PFC circuits, the reverse recovery current of a PN diode is induced during its turn-off following the turnon operation of a MOSFET, which causes not only a switching loss but also a switching noise in the PFC circuit. This study investigates the loss and conducted noise characteristics of a PFC circuit by comparing the difference among silicon PiN diodes, silicon Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), and silicon carbide SBDs.
