1. A DC/DC converter comprising:
a plurality of conversion cells connected in parallel and/or in series, each cell comprising at least one switch and at least one passive power storage element; a diagnosis circuit configured to individually test the cells to detect possible defective cells, to deactivate the defective cells, and to store the location of the defective cells; and a general control circuit capable, when cells are deactivated by the diagnosis circuit, of reconfiguring control sequences applied to the switches of the cells which are still active.
