ABSTRACT:
An integrated power converter and a method of operation thereof. The integrated power converter, having an energy storage device, includes: (1) a conditioning circuit coupled to the energy storage device and having a control switch for affecting a voltage across the energy storage device, (2) an asymmetrical half-bridge power circuit coupled to the energy storage device and having first and second power switches capable of being alternately activated to conduct current from the energy storage device to an output thereof and (3) a controller for controlling activation of both the control switch and the first and second power switches as a function of a characteristic of the output thereby to enhance a regulation of the output.
