A circuit and method of providing three dc voltage buses and transforming
power between a low voltage dc converter and a high voltage dc converter,
by coupling a primary dc power circuit and a secondary dc power circuit
through an isolation transformer; providing the gating signals to power
semiconductor switches in the primary and secondary circuits to control
power flow between the primary and secondary circuits and by controlling
a phase shift between the primary voltage and the secondary voltage. The
primary dc power circuit and the secondary dc power circuit each further
comprising at least two tank capacitances arranged in series as a tank
leg, at least two resonant switching devices arranged in series with each
other and arranged in parallel with the tank leg, and at least one
voltage source arranged in parallel with the tank leg and the resonant
switching devices, said resonant switching devices including power
semiconductor switches that are operated by gating signals. Additional
embodiments having a center-tapped battery on the low voltage side and a
plurality of modules on both the low voltage side and the high voltage
side are also disclosed for the purpose of reducing ripple current and
for reducing the size of the components.
