  • DC-DC power converter with improved output current resolution
    Patent number: 11539297
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a DC-DC power converter which comprises a switched converter core operated in accordance with a primary control signal to supply a primary DC output current (Io) of the converter; said primary control signal exhibiting a minimum resolution, e.g. a minimum time step, leading to a corresponding minimum current step of the primary DC output current. The DC-DC power converter additionally comprises a controllable resistive path, or a controllable current source, connected between a pair of terminals selected from a group of: (the positive output terminal, the negative output terminal, the positive input terminal, the negative input terminal) and configured to add or subtract a secondary DC output current (Icon) to the primary DC output current (Io) in accordance with a secondary control signal to adjust the load current.
