Abstract:
1. A DC/AC converter configured to convey an AC power signal having a positive peak voltage and a negative peak voltage, the DC/AC converter comprising: an output configured to convey the AC power signal; first, second, third, and fourth inputs, each being configured to receive a respective input voltage; a filter coupled to the output; first and second switches coupled in series between the filter and the first input, the first switch being coupled to the filter; a third switch coupled to a junction of the first and second switches and the second input; fourth and fifth switches coupled in series between the filter and the fourth input, the fourth switch being coupled to the filter; a sixth switch coupled to a junction of the fourth and fifth switches and the third input; a first diode coupled in parallel with the first switch; a second diode coupled in parallel with the second switch; a third diode coupled in parallel with the third switch; a fourth diode coupled in parallel with the fourth switch; a fifth diode coupled in parallel with the fifth switch; and a sixth diode coupled in parallel with the sixth switch.
