In a DC converter, a transformer has a first winding coupled in series with a first capacitor and a first switch between a first pair of terminals, and a second winding coupled in series with a second capacitor and an inductor between a second pair of terminals. A second switch is coupled in parallel with the series-connected first winding and first capacitor. A third switch or diode is coupled in parallel with the series-connected second winding and second capacitor. The capacitors provide energy transfer in either direction via the transformer. Leakage inductance of the transformer facilitates zero voltage switching conditions, and the transformer core is reset in each cycle by charge balancing between the capacitors. The switches can comprise AC switches. The transformer can be an autotransformer.
