Abstract
A power converter module includes a wave generator, a rectifier, and a switch controller. The rectifier includes first and second power switches, and an LC circuit. The switch controller is coupled electrically to the wave generator and control terminals of the first and second power switches, and includes a control coil coupled electromagnetically to an inductor coil of the LC circuit. The switch controller can turn the first power switch on and off periodically in response to a periodic output of the wave generator, and can ensure that the second power switch is turned off when the first power switch is turned on, and that the second power switch is turned on when the first power switch is turned off.
