Abstract:
1. A method for operating an electrical power device apparatus, the electrical power device being coupled to a source of electrical power, including: receiving a control signal at a first switching device and producing a first alternating current (AC) power signal, the frequency of the first AC power signal being responsive to the control signal, the switching device including a first pair of transistors and a second pair of transistors; and, receiving the alternating current power signal, at a frequency dependent reactive device, and producing an output power signal having a first voltage level, the frequency dependent reactive device including a plurality of capacitors, a first one of the capacitors being coupled to the first pair of switching devices for receiving a highside of the first AC power signal, a second one of the capacitors being coupled to the second pair of transistors for receiving a lowside of the first AC power signal, the capacitors being chosen to achieve a desired voltage of the output power signal relative to the frequency of the alternating current power signal, wherein the output power signal is a direct current (DC) power signal, the first frequency dependent reactive device including a rectifier circuit coupled to the first and the second capacitors for transforming the AC power signal into the DC power signal.
