  • Publication number: 20180083617
    Abstract: A circuit includes first and second half bridges, a first inductor, a second inductor, and a main inductor. The half bridges each include a high side switch, a low side switch, and a gate driver configured to apply switching signals to the high side switch and the low side switch. The first inductor has one side electrically connected to an output node of the first half bridge between the high side switch and the low side switch. The second inductor has one side electrically connected to an output node of the second half bridge between the high side switch and the low side switch. The main inductor is coupled to a node between the other sides of the first and second inductors. The main inductor has a greater inductance than each of the first and second inductors, and the first and second inductors are inversely coupled to one another.
