发明名称 Voltage transformer and method for transforming voltage
摘要 A voltage transformer (10) comprises an inductor (11), a first and a second switch (15, 16), and a control unit (25). A first terminal (12) of the inductor is supplied an input voltage (VIN). The first switch (15) is disposed between a second terminal (13) of the inductor (11) and a reference potential terminal (17). The second switch (16) is disposed between the second terminal (13) of the inductor (11) and an output (19) of the voltage transformer (10). The control unit (25) is configured to set the first switch (15) in a first and a second phase (A, B) of a first operating mode of the voltage transformer (10) into a blocking operating state and to set the second switch (15) in the first phase (A) into a conducting operating state and in the second phase (B) into an operating state having different conductivity.
