ABSTRACT:
A switched direct voltage converter comprises at least one semiconductor switch (S1) controlled by a control circuit (CC) via a switching input (SI). The semiconductor switch is formed by at least one pair of complementary field effect transistors (T1, T2) connected in a series arrangement (I1) having through-connected voltage-controlled gate electrodes. A converted direct voltage (VS) is obtained by changing over the switch (S1) between first and second supply voltage terminals (VT1, VT2). An input terminal (IT) for connection to a direct voltage supply source (V1) is connected via a coil (L) to a series junction point (SP) between the pair of complementary field effect transistors (T1, T2). A converter output terminal (OT) is connected to one (VT1) of the supply voltage terminals, and a capacitor (C3) is connected between the first and second supply voltage terminals (VT1, VT2) and between the input and output terminals (IT, OT), respectively. As a result, in the pair of complementary field effect transistors (T1, T2') the regular output has become an input (supply voltage connection) and a regular supply voltage terminal has become the output. The field effect transistor property of conducting current in two directions is utilized in the converter. A buffer-integrated circuit may be used with the interchanged connections in the converter.
