The invention relates to the compensation of dead time effect in electronic appliances such as inverters or converters having one or more legs with two complementary switches. The invented method mainly includes following steps providing an initial pulse width modulated (PWM) reference, providing a bias current and detecting the bias current crossing points, providing a dead time compensation signal which is adjusted responsive to the crossing points, and adding the dead time compensation signal to the PWM reference. Hence an adaptive compensation is accomplished independent of types of switching elements and load conditions. A high reliable circuit with low cost is further included as a preferred embodiment of bias current crossing points detection.
