This paper presents and analyzes an AC-DC power converter structure, which is comprised of a Power Factor Correction (PFC) module and a LLC resonant DC-DC converter module. This converter only uses two switches, and requires three less diodes and one less switch compared to popular LLC resonant converter solutions. Compared to its conventional counterpart, the rectifier of interest has high energy efficiency while a smaller size, owing to the soft-switching in the LLC resonant converter. Detailed theoretical analyses are conducted in this study, followed by software simulation and hardware experimentation, which demonstrate that the single stage double-switched (DS)-LLC rectifier is able to realize unity power factor and a wide output range, indicating its effectiveness and applicability.
