Abstract:
A reversible converter includes a first field effect transistor and a second field effect transistor that are coupled in series between a first terminal and a second terminal for a DC voltage. A first triac and a second triac are also coupled in series between the first and second terminals of the DC voltage. Midpoints of the series coupled devices are coupled, through an inductive element, to first and second terminals for an AC voltage. Actuation of the transistors and triacs is controlled in distinct manners to operate the converter in an AC-DC conversion mode and a DC-AC conversion mode.

Claim (Index 10):
A method of controlling a converter operable in both an AC-DC conversion mode and a DC-AC conversion mode, wherein the converter includes a first field effect transistor and a second field effect transistor coupled in a first series between terminals associated with a DC voltage, a first triac and a second triac coupled in a second series between the first and second terminals associated with the DC voltage, and wherein midpoints of the first and second series are coupled to terminals associated with an AC voltage, the method comprising:\n switching the second triac on continuously during alternations of a first sign of the AC voltage during both the AC-DC conversion mode and the DC-AC conversion mode; and switching the first triac continuously during alternations of a second sign of the AC voltage during both the AC-DC conversion mode and the DC-AC conversion mode.
