Abstract:
The disclosed technology can be used to convert direct-current voltage and current from an input to a different or the same voltage and current at an output. One example direct-current to direct-current (DC-DC) power converter includes a first switch connected between a source voltage and a first side of an inductor, a second switch connected between the first side of the inductor and a ground, a third switch connected between a second side of the inductor and the ground, and a fourth switch connected between the second side of the inductor and a capacitor. The power converter may further include a comparator configured to compare an output voltage at the capacitor to a threshold voltage and based on the result of the comparison selectively activate or deactivate the first, second, third, and fourth switches in a power cycle.

Claim (Index 28):
A direct-current to direct-current (DC-DC) power converter circuit, comprising:\n a first switch connected between an input configured to receive a source voltage and a first side of an inductor; a second switch connected between the first side of the inductor and another input configured for connection to a ground; a third switch connected between a second side of the inductor and the first side of the inductor; and a comparator configured to compare an output voltage of the capacitor to a threshold voltage, and to activate or deactivate the first, the second and the third switches in a power cycle sequence based on a comparator output.
