Abstract
An electro-magnetic interference (EMI) filter having a boost mode amplifier integrated therewith is provided. The boost mode amplifier utilizes the filtering inductors of the EMI filter as energy storage devices to control the input voltage supplied to a DC-to-DC power converter. A controller is also provided for selectively activating the boost mode amplifier, maintaining the input voltage provided to the converter within a predetermined operating range.
