Abstract
A dual-input power converter comprises two power stages using a common low-side element, a first input for coupling a first input voltage to the first power stage, a second input for coupling a second input voltage to the second power stage, and a controller for driving the first and second power stages to convert the first or second input voltage to an output voltage.
