Claim 29:
30. An electronic device, comprising:
a transformer coil having a first terminal and a second terminal;
a dipole having a cathode coupled to the second terminal of the transformer coil and an anode coupled to a reference node; and
a capacitor coupled between the first terminal of the transformer coil and the reference node;
wherein the dipole comprises:
a controllable diode having an anode coupled to the reference node and a cathode coupled to the second terminal of the transformer coil; and
a control device having inputs coupled to the second terminal of the transformer coil and the reference node, the control device configured to apply a control signal to a gate of the controllable diode based upon a difference between a potential at the cathode of the controllable diode and a potential at the anode of the controllable diode.
