Claim 4:
5. The power converter of claim 1, wherein
the control unit is configured to control the set of power switches such that during an operation cycle the power converter is operated in a first peak state and in a second peak state, which in particular lie, individually, in between the first main state and the second main state and/or in between the second main state and the first main state;
within the first peak state, the power converter exhibits
a first current path from the input, through the first 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; and

within the second peak state, the power converter exhibits
a first current path from the input, through the second 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.
