Abstract

A compensating device is used for providing current compensation of an IC when operating in the high-voltage. The current compensating device includes a detecting unit, a rectifier, a filtering unit and a switching unit. The detecting unit electrically connected to an AC voltage. The rectifier is electrically connected to the detecting unit. The filtering unit is electrically connected to the rectifier. The switching unit is electrically connected to the filtering unit. The switching unit is conducted and provides a current to the IC when the AC voltage is above a predetermined voltage.
