Abstract:
1. A method for power conversion, comprising the repeated sequential actions of: a) applying voltage from a first external power connection, with a first polarity, to a parallel inductor/capacitor combination while said inductor/capacitor combination is disconnected from a second external power connection; b) disconnecting said inductor/capacitor combination from both said first and second external power connections; c) connecting said inductor/capacitor combination to said second external power connection to output power therethrough; d) disconnecting said inductor/capacitor combination from both said first and second external power connections; e) applying voltage from said first external power connection, with a second polarity which is opposite to said first polarity, to said parallel inductor/capacitor combination while said inductor/capacitor combination is disconnected from a second external power connection; f) disconnecting said inductor/capacitor combination from both said first and second external power connections; g) connecting said inductor/capacitor combination to said second external power connection to output power therethrough; and h) disconnecting said inductor/capacitor combination combination from both said first and second external power connections.
