Abstract:
1. A circuit configuration, comprising: a DC source having a first DC source with a first output providing a DC voltage and a second DC source with a first output providing a DC voltage; a boost converter having outputs, said boost converter being a common boost converter for boosting both the DC voltage provided by said first DC source and the DC voltage provided by said second DC source, said common boost converter containing a common switching element having at least two switching elements connected between said first and second DC sources; and an intermediate circuit capacitor connected between said outputs of said boost converter, said intermediate circuit capacitor having a first side and a second side; said boost converter including a first series circuit having a first inductance and a first rectifier element connected in series with said first inductance, said first series circuit connected between said first output of said first DC source and said first side of said intermediate circuit capacitor; said boost converter including a second series circuit having a second inductance and a second rectifier element connected in series with said second inductance, said second series circuit connected between said first output of said second DC source and said second side of said intermediate circuit capacitor; said first DC source having a second output non-switchably connected to said second rectifier element and to said second side of said intermediate circuit capacitor during operation of said boost converter, and said second DC source having a second output non-switchably connected to said first rectifier element and to said first side of said intermediate circuit capacitor during operation of said boost converter; and said at least two switching elements connected between a connection between said first inductance and said first rectifier element and a connection between said second inductance and said second rectifier element in such a manner that said two DC sources are in series when all of said at least two switching elements are closed and said two DC sources are in parallel when all of said at least two switching elements are open.
