Abstract
A power conversion circuit includes a current section, a transformer, and a voltage section. The current section includes inductors configured to produce a boosted output voltage from a voltage sourse when then current section is operating in a forward direction. The transformer includes a primary winding electrically coupled to the secondary winding and configured to drive a load. The voltage section includes a pluralaty of balancing switchtes configured to actively driven to provide a DC voltage to the load. The balancing switches balance energy between the current section and the voltage section when the power conversion circuit is the load and operating in the forward direction.
