  • TWO STAGE VOLTAGE CONVERTER FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY OPERATION
    Publication number: 20240055989
    Abstract: A voltage converter includes: first and second switches having a first voltage rating, the first switch connected between an input voltage and a first node, and the second switch connected between the first node and a potential; a bypass switch connected between the input voltage and a second node; a first inductor connected between the first node and the second node; a first capacitor connected between the second node and the potential; third and fourth switches having a second voltage rating that is less than the first voltage rating, the third switch connected between the second node and a third node, and the fourth switch connected between the third node and the potential; and a switch control module configured to, in response to the input voltage becoming greater than a predetermined voltage: switch the first and second switches and adjust the voltage at the second node toward a target voltage.
