Abstract
Aspects of bidirectional architectures with partial energy processing in resonant direct current (DC)-to-DC converters are described. In one embodiment, an alternating circuit (AC)-to-DC circuit generates an AC voltage from a DC voltage. A voltage of the AC voltage is transformed into a majority AC voltage of a majority power path and at least one minority AC voltage of the minority power paths. The majority AC voltage is rectified into a majority DC voltage and a minority AC voltage is rectified into a minority DC voltage. The majority power path and the minority power path are combined as a combined DC voltage.
