Abstract

Embodiments of the present application provide a power factor correction circuit and a power supply circuit. The power factor correction circuit includes a main correction circuit and a switch module. The main correction circuit includes: a first correction circuit and a second correction circuit that are configured to perform power factor correction on a forward alternating current voltage, and a third correction circuit and a fourth correction circuit that are configured to perform power factor correction on an inverse alternating current voltage. The switch module includes first switch units that are connected in parallel between an input terminal of the first correction circuit and an input terminal of the third correction circuit, and second switch units that are connected in parallel between an input terminal of the second correction circuit and an input terminal of the fourth correction circuit.
