Abstract:
A converter includes a first diode having an anode and a cathode connected respectively to an input terminal and a first output terminal, a second diode having an anode and a cathode connected respectively to a second output terminal and the input terminal, a first transistor connected between the first output terminal and the input terminal, a second transistor connected between the input terminal and the second output terminal, and a bidirectional switch connected between the input terminal and a third output terminal and including third to sixth diodes and a third transistor. Each of the first diode, the second diode, and the third transistor is made of a wide bandgap semiconductor. Each of the first and second transistors and the third to sixth diodes is made of a semiconductor other than the wide bandgap semiconductor.
