Abstract
A control circuit for a circuit that has a rectifier circuit including first to fourth diodes, and first to fourth switches respectively connected in parallel with the first to fourth diodes, for rectifying an AC voltage; and a capacitor receiving the rectified AC voltage. The control circuit controls the first to fourth switches, and includes: a determination unit determining an off-period in which, when the AC voltage is applied, the first to fourth diodes turn off, the off-period including a first period and a second period, in which the first and fourth diodes, and the second and third diodes, respectively turn off; and a control unit turning on the first and fourth switches in the first period, when the second and third diodes are off, and turning on the second and third switches in the second period, when the first and fourth diodes are off.
