Abstract
A power conversion system includes a first converter configured to convert an input voltage into discrete voltage levels, and provide each discrete voltage level at a corresponding output terminal. The power conversion system further includes a second converter configured to convert the discrete voltages into modulated voltages. The power conversion system further includes a selection unit configured to alternatively output each of the modulated voltage voltages across a pair of output terminals.
