Abstract
An AC/DC converter includes a first terminal and a second terminal for receiving an AC voltage and a third terminal and a fourth terminal for delivering a DC voltage. A capacitive circuit is connected between the third and fourth terminals. A rectifying bridge circuit has input terminals respectively coupled to the first and second terminals and has output terminal respectively connected to the third and fourth terminals. An inductive element is coupled in series with a first switch circuit between the first terminal and an input terminal of the rectifying bridge circuit.
