Abstract
With a coupled pair of inductors brought between front end and back end power switches, and with the DC voltage split using a pair of series connected capacitors and the midpoint being connected to the AC neutral, power conversion can be achieved with reduced ripple and/or total harmonic distortion. The two pairs of series connected back end switches are connected between AC neutral and a respective DC terminal with the midpoint between each pair of back end switches being connected to one of the coupled pair of inductors. A switch controller is operative to receive an input defining a direction of power conversion from AC to DC or DC to AC and a level of power conversion or a target output voltage of power conversion to generate gate signals for the power switches accordingly.
