A diode equalizing bridge wherein one pair of opposed diodes are forward-biased and a second pair of opposed diodes are reverse-biased so that the two capacitors at the opposed load terminals are charged and discharged by a current source and current sink connected to two opposed power terminals until the capacitors have equal voltages. The current source and sink are gated to activate and deactivate the bridge. For an AC power source, two diode bridges are used, one connected to each terminal of the capacitor to operate during the respective half cycle of the AC power source.
