Abstract
A switched converter uses two series connected complementary CMOS devices and has a square wave source for activating one CMOS device while deactivating the other; and a break before make circuit connected between the square wave source and said complementary CMOS devices to ensure that one device is substantially completely off before the other device turns on. The switched converter is programmable as to frequency, phase and duty cycle.
