ABSTRACT:
The bidirectional switching power apparatus converts DC input voltage into single AC or multiple DC output voltages. Power transformer is used if line isolation is necessary. Number of switching components and peak currents thereof are minimal. The DC input voltage is lower than the AC or DC output voltages. The switching power apparatus has a first and second capacitors coupled to ground for storing a first and second voltages respectively. One switch selectively applies the DC input voltage across an inductor which attains a current. Another switch selectively applies the current to ground. A diode applies the current to the first capacitor. An amplifier converts the first and second voltages into the AC output signal. Two other diodes apply the second voltage and AC output signal to a node. The DC input voltage is referenced to the node rather than ground.
