Abstract: A switched power converter unit has a DC voltage source with a positive output connection and a negative output connection; a series connection of two switching units; a first output clamp, coupled to a common point of the two switching units of a first parallel branch via a first inductive element; a diode arranged to allow current flow from the first output clamp to the DC voltage source; a diode arranged to allow current flow from the DC voltage source to the first output clamp; a capacitor coupled parallel to diode D1, and/or a capacitor coupled parallel to diode D2; a second output clamp, coupled to a common point of the two switching units of a second parallel branch via a second inductive element; a diode arranged to allow current flow from the second output clamp to the DC voltage source; a diode arranged to allow current flow from the DC voltage source to the second output clamp; a capacitor coupled parallel to diode D3, and/or a capacitor coupled parallel to diode D4.
