ABSTRACT:
A split-boost converter having a main inductor, first and second main switches and floating and fixed outputs and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the converter includes an auxiliary diode coupled between the main inductor and a first rail of the floating output, and an auxiliary switch coupled to a node between the main inductor and the auxiliary diode and a second rail of the floating output. The converter is operable in a first mode, when an input voltage of the converter at least equals an output voltage of the converter, in which the auxiliary switch remains open and the first and second main switches are modulated to operate the converter. The converter is further operable in a second mode, when an input voltage of the converter is less than an output voltage of the converter, in which the first and second main switches remain closed and the auxiliary switch is modulated to operate the converter.
