Electric energy converter, power train comprising such a converter and related electric transport vehicle

An electric energy converter configured to convert a first electric energy into a second electric energy, comprising:

• two first terminals associated with the first electric energy;
• at least one second terminal associated with the second electric energy;
• P switching arms, P being an integer greater than or equal to 1, each switching arm including two switching half-arms connected in series between the two first terminals and connected to one another at a midpoint, the midpoint being connected to a respective second terminal,
• each switching half-arm including N switching half-branches connected in parallel, N being an integer greater than or equal to 2, each switching half-branch including a switch,
• wherein the electric energy converter further comprises 2×P control modules, each control module being configured to control the switches of a respective switching half-arm, each control module including an output terminal for each respective switch, each output terminal being configured to deliver a control signal for said respective switch, and
• wherein the electric energy converter comprises a respective control loop for each switch, each control loop being connected between a respective output terminal and the corresponding switch, and including two capacitors and two switching members to switch the corresponding switch into a state from among an open state and a closed state.
