Abstract
An AC to DC converter utilizes a first power converter for converting an AC signal to a DC signal under the control of a control signal. The control signal is generated by a control circuit that includes a first analog generator that provides a first signal that is analogous to the voltage of the AC signal that is to be converted. A second analog generator generates a second signal that is analogous to the current of the AC signal that is to be converted and a third analog generator generates a third signal that is analogous to the voltage of the DC output signal. The third signal and the first signal are multiplied together to obtain a fourth signal. The control signal is generated from the fourth signal and the second signal and is used to control the power converter such that the waveform of the current of the AC signal is limited to a sinusoidal waveform of the same frequency and phase as the AC signal.
