An AC-DC converter has a totem-pole output circuit having first and second semiconductor switches, each having a channel coupled to a switching node and having a parasitic capacitance associated with the channel. An inductor has one terminal thereof connected to a switching node. First and second bypass devices are coupled to a second terminal of the inductor and operable during at least a portion of an input voltage to allow reverse current from an output of the converter to generate soft-switching of the first semiconductor switch. An asymmetrical shunt for measuring current in a first direction and bypassing current in a second direction opposite the first direction allows accurate measurement of reverse current.
