Abstract
A DC/DC converter interconnecting a first DC voltage source having a first potential and a second DC voltage source having a second potential and having a stepup/stepdown transformer coupled between the two voltage sources; a controlled switching circuit coupled to the transformer for switching pulsed direct current through the transformer between the voltage sources; and a controller controlling a switching operation of the switching circuit to allow the pulsed direct current to flow between the two voltage sources, whereby current flows between the two voltage sources in dependence on load demands imposed on respective ones of the two voltage sources.
