Publication number: 20240146192Abstract: A voltage converter includes a converter stage having a direct current to direct current (DC-to-DC) voltage converter, wherein the converter stage receives a first DC voltage and outputs a second DC voltage different than the first DC voltage. The voltage converter also includes a boost pre-stage having a boosting circuit and a capacitor, wherein the boost pre-stage receives a DC voltage from a battery and outputs a boosted DC voltage to the converter stage as the first voltage, wherein the boosted DC voltage is greater than the DC voltage from the battery. The boosted DC voltage of the boost pre-stage output to the converter stage provides fault resistant operation of the converter stage in the event of one or more fluctuations in an operating range of the DC voltage from the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Lear CorporationInventors: Hector SARNAGO ANDIA, Oscar LUCIA GIL, Ruben MOLINA LLORENTE, Antonio MARTINEZ PEREZ, Pablo GAONA ROSANES, Rafael JIMENEZ PINO
