1. A device, comprising:

  • a controllable switch coupled between an AC network and a DC network, wherein the controllable switch is configured to perform AC to DC conversion; and

    control circuitry configured to modify a configuration of the switch based on a detected difference between a reference signal and an output signal of the DC network, wherein the control circuitry is configured to modify the configuration by one of (a) increasing a phase offset of the switch defined as a period of time that elapses before the switch turns on relative to a beginning of a cycle of an input signal of the AC network and (b) decreasing the phase offset of the switch relative to the beginning of a cycle of the input signal.
