ABSTRACT:
A control circuit which regulates an ac power output device. The control circuit is operatively connected to the ac power output and measures the ac signal with a diode to generate a control signal stimulus. A second diode is operatively connected to the power measuring diode so that the two diodes have the same voltage drops associated with the quiescent operation of the diodes. Quiescent voltage changes in the power measuring diode are canceled by the matching quiescent voltage change in the second diode. In this manner, power measurement errors associated with diode quiescent voltage changes are minimized.
