Abstract: A multi-phase power factor converter is disclosed. In embodiments, each phase of the power factor converter includes a voltage measurement circuit, a boost coil, a current measurement circuit, and a comparator. The voltage measurement circuit is configured to detect an input voltage. The current measurement circuit configured to detect a current in the boost coil. The comparator configured to compare the input voltage to the current in the boost coil, and a plurality of transistors (e.g., forming a MOSFET bridge) are driven by an output of the comparator.
