Abstract:
A rectifier with midpoint feed, comprising:a first and a second input terminal (A,B), which form an input of the rectifier,a first and a second output terminal (P,M), which form a first output of the rectifier, the first output terminal (P) forming the positive pole and the second output terminal (M) forming the negative pole of the first output of the rectifier,wherein a series circuit comprising a first and a second coupling capacitor (C.sub.1, C.sub.2) is arranged in parallel with the first output, the midpoint of the series circuit being connected to the second input terminal (B),wherein a storage capacitor (C.sub.3) is arranged in parallel with a series circuit comprising a first and a second diode (D.sub.1, D.sub.2), the midpoint of the series circuit made up of the first and the second diodes (D.sub.1, D.sub.2) being connected to the first input terminal (A), and the first diode (D.sub.1) being connected to the first coupling capacitor (C.sub.1) via a first inductor, and the second diode (D.sub.2) being connected to the second coupling capacitor (C.sub.2) via a second inductor (L.sub.2).
