Abstract:
A three terminal power conversion network comprising,a first network terminal,a first inductor having first and second terminals with said first terminal of said first inductor connected to said first network terminal,first switch means having first and second terminals with said first terminal of said first switch means connected to said second terminal of said first inductor,a first capacitor having first and second terminals with said first terminal of said first capacitor connected to said first terminal of said first switch means and to said second terminal of said first inductor,second switch means having first and second terminals with said first terminal of said second switch means connected to said second terminal of said first switch means and with said second terminal of said second switch means connected to said second terminal of said first capacitor, operable substantially in anti-synchronization to said first switch means,a second inductor having first and second terminals with said second terminal of said second inductor connected to said second terminal of said first capacitor and to said second terminal of said second switch means,a second network terminal connected to said first terminal of said second inductor,a third inductor having first and second terminals with said first terminal of said third inductor connected to said second terminal of said first switch means and to said first terminal of said second switch means,a third network terminal connected to said second terminal of said third inductor,whereby one of said first, said second, or said third network terminals is connected to a load and the remaining two of said first, said second, and said third network terminals are connected to substantially DC voltage sources, one of which sources may be ground or common, thereby forming a complete power converter circuit with the property of non-pulsating terminal currents at all said network terminals.
