The present disclosure provides a power converter including an input capacitor, an input switch, first and second bridge arms, first and second storage capacitors, two output inductors and an output capacitor. The first and second bridge arms are connected in parallel between a second terminal of the input switch and the ground terminal. The first bridge arm includes three switches connected in series and has first upper and lower nodes therebetween. The second bridge arm includes three switches connected in series and has second upper and lower nodes therebetween. The first storage capacitor is coupled between the first upper node and the second lower node. The second storage capacitor is coupled between the second upper node and the first lower node. The input switch is configured to block a rush current between the input capacitor and the first storage capacitor and/or the second storage capacitor.

Power converter

A power conversion circuit is provided. In the power conversion circuit, a three-switch unit of a switch bridge arm includes first, second and third terminals and upper, middle and lower switches serially connected between the first and third terminals sequentially. The upper and lower switches are turned on and off synchronously. A grounding switch is coupled between the third terminal and a negative input terminal. A cross-connected storage capacitor is electrically connected between a node between the upper and middle switches and the third terminal. A diode, a capacitor and a driving unit of a floating driving circuit are electrically connected between the upper and lower switches. A connection node between the diode and the capacitor is electrically connected to a driving terminal of the upper switch. A connection node between the capacitor and the driving unit is electrically connected to a driving terminal of the lower switch.

Power conversion circuit

A power conversion circuit is provided. According to the topologies of power conversion circuits and the corresponding control manners of the present disclosure, the output voltage is greatly reduced relative to the input voltage, and thus the function of voltage reduction is achieved. Moreover, a voltage-second product of the time and the voltage across the first output inductor and a voltage-second product of the time and the voltage across the second output inductor are both greatly reduced. Accordingly, the inductance, volume and loss of the first output inductor and the second output inductor are greatly reduced. Therefore, the voltage regulation module may receive the low output voltage outputted by the power conversion circuit, thereby reducing the overall volume of the voltage regulation module and increasing the power conversion density and conversion efficiency of the voltage regulation module.
