Claim 15:
16. The power converter of claim 1, wherein
the control unit is configured to control the set of power switches such that during an additional operation cycle the power converter is operated in a first additional main state and in a second additional main state in a mutually exclusive manner;
within the first additional main state, the power converter exhibits
a first current path from ground through the second lower capacitor, through the second upper capacitor, 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;

within the second additional main state, the power converter exhibits
a first current path from ground through the first lower capacitor, through the first upper capacitor, 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.
