Abstract
A power converter is coupled between a power source and multiple loads, and the power converter includes a first switch module. The switch module includes an inductor, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a fourth switch. The first switch, the second switch, the third switch, and the fourth switch are configured to be turned on or turned off so that the inductor is stored energy or released energy to converter the power source into multiple voltages to the multiple loads.
Claims13
A power converter, coupled between a power source and multiple loads, the power converter comprising:
- a first switch module comprising:
- an inductor comprising a first end and a second end;
- a first switch comprising a first end connected to a first input end, and a second end connected to the first end of the inductor;
- a second switch comprising a first end connected to the second end of the inductor, and a second end connected to a second input end;
- a third switch comprising a first end connected to a first output end, and a second end connected to the first end of the second switch and the second end of the inductor;
- and
- a fourth switch comprising a first end connected to the second end of the first switch, and a second end connected to a second output end,
- wherein the first switch, the second switch, the third switch, and the fourth switch are configured to be turned on or off, such that the inductor stores or releases energy to convert the power source into multiple voltages to the multiple loads,
- wherein a first load of the multiple loads is connected between the first input end and the first output end, a second load of the multiple loads is connected between the first output end and the second output end, and a third load of the multiple loads is connected between the second input end and the second output end.
