Abstract

See full text

A boost-bypass converter includes a boost inductor coupled between an input and an output of the boost-bypass converter. A bypass diode is coupled between the input the output of the boost-bypass converter. A boost switching element is coupled to the boost inductor, and is coupled to be activated during a first interval in each line half cycle of an input voltage to boost an output voltage at the output of the boost-bypass converter. The boost switching element is coupled to be deactivated during a second interval in said each line half cycle such that the output voltage drops towards the input voltage. The output voltage is coupled to follow the input voltage during a third interval in said each line half cycle of the input voltage. Energy is transferred between the input and the output of the boost-bypass converter through the bypass diode during the third interval.
