Abstract
The present description concerns a power converter () comprising: a switch () comprising first () and second () conduction terminals intended to receive a first AC voltage (Vds), a first circuit () for detecting a minimum value reached by the first voltage at each halfwave, and for averaging minimum values over a plurality of halfwaves, and a second circuit () for controlling the switch configured, according to the average of said values, to turn on the switch when the first voltage is substantially null.
