Abstract: A DC voltage converter is provided that cyclically converts an input-side supply voltage into an output voltage. The converter includes an inductive storage element connected between a terminal for the supply voltage and, in a manner such that it is coupled via a first switch, a reference potential terminal. The capacitively buffered output voltage terminal is connected, via a second switch, between the inductive storage element and the first switch. Provision is furthermore made of a third switch, which is intended to selectively short the inductive storage element that is connected in parallel and is controlled by a control circuit. The control circuit is controlled, on the input side, by a control voltage that is tapped off at the second terminal of the inductive storage element.

Abstract: A digital-to-analog converter has a reference value source, a reference value divider arrangement with a tap, a first switch arrangement which is designed to produce an electrical connection between the tap and a first output of the digital-to-analog converter, and a second switch arrangement which is designed to produce an electrical connection between the tap and a second output of the digital-to-analog converter.

Abstract: A DC voltage converter having a plurality of outputs and a method for converting a DC voltage into a plurality of output-side DC voltages is disclosed. A control unit is used to drive a first and a second switch to drive an energy store in such a manner that a plurality of different output voltages are provided. The switches include field effect transistors, and at least the substrate terminal of one of these field effect transistors is connected to the control unit in order to be driven using a substrate potential in a manner dependent on an operating mode of the DC voltage converter. This makes it possible to provide different voltages both in an intermittent and in a continuous operating mode of the converter with, at the same time, a high degree of efficiency.
