Zusammenfassung:A power converter circuit (1) and an associated method of converting an AC power supply. The power converter circuit (1) comprises: a supply rectifier circuit (2) for rectifying an AC supply power to generate a rectified supply power; an inverter circuit (3) for receiving the rectified supply power to generate an inverted supply power; a load rectifier circuit (4) for rectifying the inverted supply power to generate a rectified load power for supplying a load current to a load (5); and a charge pump circuit (6) driven by the load current to pump additional charge to the rectified supply power.
