1. A circuit for compensating for reverse current leakage in an active rectifier, the circuit comprising:
- a switch configured to control a current flow in the active rectifier and interrupt the current flow in response to the switch being deactivated; and
a reverse current leakage compensator configured to deactivate the switch in response to a predetermined time delay elapsing from a point in time at which the switch is activated.

Abstract
A method of compensating for reverse current leakage in an active rectifier may include advancing an output of a comparator by a predetermined period of time by applying a predetermined offset voltage to a reference voltage input to the comparator, and activating a switch based on the output of the comparator. The method may also include deactivating the switch when a predetermined time delay elapses from a point in time at which the switch was activated.

7. An active rectifier comprising:
-
a first loop configured to enable a current to flow in the first loop, the first loop being activated in an interval in which an input signal has a positive phase; and a second loop configured to enable a current to flow in the second loop, the second loop being activated in an interval in which the input signal has a negative phase; wherein each of the first loop and the second loop comprises a switch and a controller configured to generate a control signal to deactivate the switch in response to a predetermined time delay elapsing from a point in time at which the switch is activated. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
