A power factor correction converter includes: a light load detection circuit configured to generate, if supplied power to a load is less than or equal to a predetermined value, a light load detection signal whose level corresponds to the supplied power; a target waveform generation circuit configured to generate, based on an input DC voltage, a target waveform of an inductor current flowing through an inductor; and a drive signal generation circuit configured to generate a drive signal driving a switch such that the inductor current follows the target waveform. The target waveform generation circuit is configured to generate, if the light load detection signal indicates a light load, the target waveform that includes a zero level period in which an amplitude of the target waveform is zero level, the zero level period being adjusted in accordance with the level of the light load detection signal. |
