  • FET-BASED AC-TO-DC CONVERTER WITH NEGATIVE CYCLE GATE PRE-CHARGE
    Publication number: 20260074603
    Abstract: A power converter circuit comprises a solid-state switch connected between first and second nodes, a capacitor coupled between the second node and a ground reference node, and a control system which monitors a voltage level across the capacitor and (i) turns on the solid-state switch during a positive half-cycle of an AC power waveform coupled to the first node to cause the capacitor to be charged, when the voltage level across the capacitor is less than a maximum DC voltage level, and (ii) turn off the solid-state switch during the positive half-cycle of the AC power waveform, in response to determining that the voltage level across the capacitor has reached the maximum DC voltage level. The control system is configured to generate a regulated threshold voltage for the solid-state switch during a negative half-cycle of the AC power waveform while maintaining the solid-state switch turned off during the negative half-cycle.
