Abstract

See full text

A system for providing power suitable for electrosurgery from a self-contained direct current (DC) energy source according to embodiments of the present invention includes a voltage-affecting circuit having an input and an output, wherein the voltage-affecting circuit is configured to receive energy from the DC energy source at the input and provide boosted DC energy at the output, the boosted DC energy having a voltage greater than a voltage of the DC energy source, and an inverter operable to invert the boosted DC energy to alternating current (AC) energy. The inverter may include a bridge circuit including an arrangement of switches and having an input and an output, wherein the boosted DC energy is received at the bridge circuit input, and a bridge controller operable to control the arrangement of switches to selectively connect the bridge circuit input to the bridge circuit output.
