    Abstract: A power conversion apparatus can receive an alternating current (AC) signal at an input and provide in dependence thereon a low voltage direct current (DC) signal from an output stage. The apparatus comprises a main path comprising a capacitor in series with the input. The apparatus comprises a first path to carry current carried by the main path in at least one of a positive going part and a negative going part of the AC signal and a second path to carry current carried by the main path in a positive going part and a negative going part of the AC signal. The apparatus further comprises switches operative to determine when one of the first and second paths carries current. The output stage receives current flowing in the first path and at least one of the switches operates based on a control signal derived from the DC signal.

    Abstract: Current measurement apparatus comprises a measurement arrangement and a signal source. The measurement arrangement is configured to measure a current signal drawn by a load. The signal source is operative to apply a reference input signal to the measurement arrangement whereby an output signal from the measurement arrangement comprises a load output signal corresponding to the load drawn current signal and a reference output signal corresponding to the reference input signal. The signal source comprises a current multiplier which defines first and second current paths and is configured such that: the first path carries a multiplier input current signal; the second path carries a multiplier output current signal which determines the reference input signal and which corresponds to the multiplier input current signal multiplied by a multiplier value determined by the current multiplier; and the multiplier input current signal and the multiplier output current signal are carried on their respective paths in a same direction relative to a power supply voltage. Power drawn through the second path as divided by the multiplier value is less than the power drawn through the first path.
