Patent 7782639 was granted and assigned to VLT on August, 2010 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Multi-cell DC-DC power converters are described. In an adaptive version the isolated regulating multi-cell converter adaptively configures the input cells in a series connection to share the input voltage and in a parallel configuration to share the input current. Double-clamped buck-boost ZVS switching DC-DC, active clamped flyback, and flyback converter topologies may be used in the cells of the converter.
