Claim 17:
18. The power converter of claim 16, wherein
the control unit is configured to control the set of power switches such that during the additional operation cycle the power converter is operated in a first additional peak state and in a second additional peak state, which in particular lie, individually, in between the first additional main state and the second additional main state and/or in between the second additional main state and the first additional main state;
within the first additional peak state, the power converter exhibits
a first current path from the input, through the inductor to the output; and
a second current path from the input through the first upper capacitor, through the first lower capacitor to the output; and

within the second additional peak state, the power converter exhibits
a first current path from the input, through the inductor to the output; and
a second current path from the input through the second upper capacitor, through the second lower capacitor to the output.
