ABSTRACT:
A DC-to-DC converter includes: a first and a second inductor path, the inductor paths being coupled in the converter so as to provide a single voltage output signal during converter operation. An array of switches are coupled so as to control the application of voltage sources to the inductor paths during converter operation. The switches and the array are coupled so that their states are controlled, at least in part, based upon the voltage signal level of the single voltage output signal during converter operation.
A method of producing a voltage signal is as follows. One of two voltage sources is applied to an inductor circuit to produce an output voltage signal. The voltage source supplied is switched based, at least in part, on the voltage signal level of the output voltage signal.
