Abstract
Various embodiments include a method for operating a bidirectional voltage converter with an input-side half-bridge, an output-side half-bridge, and a bridge branch having a bridge inductance, comprising: determining an actual mean bridge current value flowing through the bridge branch during a respective subsequent switching cycle T1 of the transistor switches in a respective current switching cycle T0; determining switch-on time points and switch-on durations of the respective transistor switches for the respective subsequent switching cycle T1; and switching on the respective transistor switches at the respective ascertained switch-on time points and for the respective ascertained switch-on durations in the respective subsequent switching cycle T1.
