Abstract:
1. A circuit for providing connection between a first node at a first voltage and a second node at a second voltage, comprising: a first inductive element having a first terminal coupled to the first node, a first switching element coupled between a second terminal of the first inductive element and the second node, a second inductive element having a first terminal configured for receiving current from the second terminal of the first inductive element, and having a second terminal coupled to a third node, and a second switching element coupled between the first terminal of the second inductive element and the second node, the first switching element being configured for providing a first path for a current flow between the first node and the second node when the first switching element is turned on, and the second switching element is turned off, and the second switching element being configured for providing a second path for a current flow between the first node and the second node when the second switching element is turned on and the first switching element is turned off.
