Publication number: 20230369964Abstract: A converter with lower passive filter size and increased flying capacitor charging speed during the converter start-up uses a combination of a multi-level power converter circuit having a flying capacitor in which the first switching harmonic cluster is at twice the switching frequency and an integrated double-stage filter designed to allow the flying capacitor to be efficiently balanced and to allow noise from the harmonic clusters and from switches in the power converter circuit to be suppressed. This provides for a compact power conversion apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2021Publication date: November 16, 2023Inventors: Mostafa ABARZADEH, Simon CARON, Fadia SEBAALY
