Abstract
A switched-mode converter includes a first magnetic circuit including a first inductive element, coupled to at least one second inductive element and electrically coupled in series with the second element and with a first diode between a first one of two input terminals and a first one of two output terminals; a first switch coupled in series with a third inductive element between a second terminal of the first inductive element and a second input terminal, a common node between the first switch and the third inductive element being connected to one of the output terminals by a second diode; and a circuit capable of canceling the voltage across the first switch before its turning-on.
