Abstract
A converter device includes a converter and a controller to operate the converter. The converter includes reactive components which include a flying capacitor. To perform at least two different operation modes, the converter further includes seven switches. A mode selection logic of the controller selects one of the operation modes depending on desired operating conditions. The converter device is highly flexible and enables a high power processing efficiency over the full operating range by properly selecting a suitable operation mode.
