Abstract
A power converter to convert power between a first converter voltage at a first converter port and a second converter voltage at a second converter port is presented. It contains a first capacitor network, an inductor and a first switching matrix to arrange the first capacitor network and the inductor within different states. One of the states is a bypass state enabling current to flow from the first converter port or from ground through the first capacitor network to the second converter port without going through the inductor. Another state is an inductor state enabling current to flow from the first converter port or from ground through the inductor to the second converter port. The power converter also includes a control unit to control the first switching matrix repeatedly in a recurrent sequence of the different states.
