Abstract: A light-emitting device includes multiple light-emitting diode units sequentially connected and coupled to a first power source, a switching circuit connected to the light-emitting diode units, a second power source, and a control module.

Abstract: The instant disclosure provides a Power Factor Correction (PFC) boost converter including a PFC converter unit and a control unit and a frequency switching modulation method thereof. The control unit outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the PFC converter unit for adjusting an electronic power output to a voltage converter.
