The invention relates to an voltage converter for converting a voltage to
multiple output voltages, comprising a first switching circuit (SO)
connected to an inductive energy storage element (L) for allowing and
interrupting a current flow through the inductive energy storage element
(L); at least two second switching circuits (S1) for a controllable
discharging of the energy stored in the inductive energy storage element
(L), each second switching circuit (S1) being connected to the inductive
energy storage element (L) in parallel connection to each other at its
respective input and each second switching circuit (S 1) comprising a
parasitic element; control voltage selection means for selectively
supplying a control voltage to the parasitic element of the switching
circuits (S1) such that a current flow trough the parasitic element of
the respective switching circuit (1) is inhibited when the second
switching circuit (S1) is turned off. A negative influence of parasitic
elements (e.g. diodes) can be suppressed by a suitable selective control
of the bulk voltage.
