power factor corrector 14 divides the variable input voltage AC into a plurality of sections to output different kinds of supply voltages Vin, the secondary resonance loop has more one second switches S2 and a plurality of auxiliary serial capacitor Cc to obtain a multi-section adjustment of the secondary resonance loop. Hence, a voltage difference between the input end of thepower factor corrector 14 and the output end of thepower factor corrector 14 is minimal and losses of the switch transistor QPFC of thepower factor corrector 14 are relatively minimal so as to improve the efficiency of the power circuit device. Moreover, the first switches S1 and the second switches S2 of the present invention are widely selected such as BJTs, MOSFETs, SCRs, RELAYs, IGBT, or so on. - It follows from what has been said that the full-resonant power circuit device for receiving a variable input voltage that the power factor correcting circuit for separating the variable input voltage AC into a plurality of supply voltage sections outputted, and the input voltage sections are detected to separately switch corresponding switch transistors for suitably adding resonance inductors to the input voltage sections to be used by the full-resonant power circuit device to reduce the large voltage difference of a conventional
power factor corrector 2 so as to improve the efficiency of the power circuit device and improve a half-bridge resonance circuit that is only operated in a fixed voltage source. - Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that the invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various substitutions and modifications have been suggested in the foregoing description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and modifications are intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
