Abstract
A power rectifier rectifies alternating electric current by using a controller in the power rectifier to control a first delay circuit in the power rectifier to turn on a high side switch in the power rectifier, wherein the high side switch provides a path for power from an input voltage line of the power rectifier to an output voltage line of the power rectifier. The controller controls a second delay circuit in the power rectifier to maintain the high side switch in an on state to change a switching state of the high side switch based on detection, by a current inversion detector, of a current inversion associated with the input and output voltage lines of the power rectifier.
