Abstract
An illustrative embodiment described herein is a stacked direct current to direct current (DC-DC) converter including a first DC bus coupled to a first one of a power source and a power load and a second DC bus coupled to a second one of the power source and the power load. The stacked DC-DC converter includes a first half-bridge coupled to a first portion the first DC bus and a second half-bridge circuit coupled to a second portion the DC first bus. The stacked DC-DC converter includes a third half-bridge circuit coupled to a first portion of the second DC bus and a fourth half-bridge circuit coupled to a second portion of the second DC bus. The stacked DC-DC converter includes a first magnetic element coupling the first half-bridge circuit to the third half-bridge circuit and a second magnetic element coupling the second half-bridge circuit to the fourth half-bridge circuit.
