ABSTRACT:
A zero-current switching converter converts power from an input source for delivery to a load. In the converter, a switch opens and closes at times of essentially zero current to enable energy transfer back and forth between said input source and said converter. A controller is connected to control the switch to initiate, during a first portion of each of a succession of converter operating cycles, forward energy transfer from said input source; and in at least some of said converter operating cycles, also to initiate reverse energy transfer to said input source at times not contiguous with said first portion.
