Abstract
A power converter includes a plurality of switches, a transformer electrically connected between some and other of the switches, and a plurality of series connected capacitors electrically connected between the switches and an output of the power converter. A controller operates the switches such that a voltage at an input of the power converter and across each of the capacitors is same and a voltage at the output is double the voltage at the input.
