A switch mode converter converts an input DC voltage applied at one level at the converter input to an output DC voltage at a second level at the converter output. A switch is arranged to switch the input DC voltage on and off during each cycle of a plurality of cycles. An energy storage unit temporarily stores energy from the input source voltage when the switch is on, and releases energy when the switch is off during each cycle. Input energy stored is equal to the energy released with each cycle and achieves equilibrium when the converter is operating into normal loads. A reset mechanism provides additional reset voltage during each cycle to achieve equilibrium when the converter is operating in a fault condition.
