Abstract
A single stage power converter has an energy storage device and is configured to receive electrical power. The single stage power converter includes: (1) an inductor, coupled to the energy storage device, for affecting a voltage across the energy storage device, (2) an asymmetrical half-bridge power circuit coupled to the energy storage device and having first and second power switches capable of being alternately activated to conduct current from the energy storage device to an output thereof and (3) a controller for controlling activation of the first and second power switches as a function of a characteristic of the output thereby to enhance a regulation of the output.
