Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014177717A1] The invention relates to a converter, in particular a step-up (1) or a step-down converter, said converter comprising a converter inductor (2), a converter diode (3), a converter switch (4), and a bypass circuit (12) connected in parallel to the converter switch (4), in which bypass circuit a bypass capacitor (15) and a diode (14) are connected in series. Said converter also comprises a discharge circuit (17) for the bypass capacitor (15). The forward direction of the diode (14) in the bypass circuit (12) is the same as a conventional direction of current flow through the converter switch (4). The discharge circuit (17) comprises an inductor (20) that is magnetically coupled to the converter inductor (2).
