An AC to DC circuit includes a rectifier circuit, a voltage detecting circuit, the current source and the output circuit. The rectifier circuit converts the AC power to pulsating DC. The constant current source provides current to the voltage detection circuit and to the control port of the output circuit. The current passing throughout the constant current source is the sum of the current flowing to the voltage detection circuit and to the output circuit. The voltage detection circuit increases with the instantaneous value of the output voltage of the rectifier circuit, it absorbs more current from the current provided by the constant current source and less current flows from the constant current source to the control port of the output circuit. The output circuit amplifies the current of the control port and outputs it to power the load. The AC to DC circuit of the present invention can rectify the portion of an alternating input voltage below a sine peak of the alternating current, working at a sine wave ascending area and a sine wave descending area, and it can carry a capacitive load.
An AC to DC circuit, comprising a rectifier circuit having an output positive end and an output negative end, a voltage detection circuit having two input ports and one output port, a constant current source having an inflow end and an outflow end, and an output circuit having an input port, an output port and a control port, said rectifier circuit being in a parallel connection with said voltage detection circuit with said rectifier circuit's two output ends connected to said voltage detection circuit's two input ports, respectively, said outflow end of said constant current source being connected to both said output port of said voltage detection circuit and said control port of said output circuit, wherein the current flowing through said outflow end of said constant current source equals to the sum of the current flowing from said constant current source to said output port of said voltage detection circuit and the current flowing from said constant current source to said control port of said output port, and said output circuit amplifies said current flowing to said control port and output said amplified current to power a load.
