Abstract:
A switched mode power converter is described, configured to convert electrical power between a first voltage at a first port and a second voltage at a second port, where the first and second voltages are relative to a reference potential. The power converter comprises an inductive element having a first side and a second side, where the first side of the inductive element is coupled to the first port. The power converter comprises a power switch configured to couple or to decouple the second side of the inductive element to or from the reference potential. The power converter comprises a capacitive element having a first side and a second side, where the first side of the capacitive element is coupled to the power switch and the second side of the capacitive element is coupled to the second port. The power converter comprises an auxiliary switch configured to couple or to decouple the second side of the capacitive element to or from the reference potential. The power converter comprises a control unit configured to control the power switch and the auxiliary switch in a repetitive manner to convert electrical power.

Claim (Index 6):
The switched mode power converter of  claim 1 , wherein the control unit is configured to control the power switch and the auxiliary switch within a sequence of commutation cycles, such that within a commutation cycle\n the power switch starts decoupling the second side of the inductive element from the reference potential at a first decoupling time instant; the auxiliary switch starts decoupling the second side of the capacitive element from the reference potential at a second decoupling time instant; and the first decoupling time instant and the second decoupling time instant are offset at the most by a pre-determined decoupling offset.
