Abstract

The present document relates to Single Inductor Dual Input (SIDI) buck power converters. More specifically, a dual input power converter may comprise an inductor, a first high-side switching element, a second high-side switching element, and a low-side switching element. The inductor may be coupled between an intermediate node and an output of the dual input power converter. The first high-side switching element may be coupled between a first input of the dual input power converter and the intermediate node. The second high-side switching element may be coupled between a second input of the dual input power converter and the intermediate node. The low-side switching element may be coupled between the intermediate node and a reference potential.
