Circuit inrush current limiter

An AC-DC converter comprising: a first terminal (12) and a second terminal (14) for receiving an AC voltage (Vac); a third terminal (16) and a fourth terminal (18), for providing a first DC voltage (Vout); at least one first capacitive element (C1, C2) connecting the third and fourth terminals; a rectifier bridge (3) having input terminals (32, 34) are respectively coupled to first and second terminals and whose output terminals are respectively connected to third and fourth terminals; and at least one first inductive element (L1) in series with a first switch (52) between a first and second terminals and one of the bridge input terminals.
