Abstract:
An energy storage stack balancing circuit may balance a set of serially connected energy storage devices. An electronic switching system may control the delivery of energy into and out of the inductor. A controller may control the electronic switching system so as to cause energy to be transferred: from one of the energy storage devices into the inductor and then out of the inductor and into a different one, a subset, or all of the energy storage devices; or from a subset of the energy storage devices into the inductor and then out of the inductor and into one, a different subset, or all of the energy storage devices; or from all of the energy storage devices into the inductor and then out of the inductor and into one or a subset the energy storage devices.

Abstract:
A power converting system produces an input signal regulated with respect to an input signal. The power converting system has a first inductive element having a first node coupled to an input node, and a second inductive element having a first node coupled to an output node. A first switching element is coupled to a second node of the first inductive element. A first capacitive element is coupled between the second node of the first inductive element and of the second inductive element. A control circuit sets a duty cycle of the first switching element to a first value for providing the output signal of a first polarity responsive to the input signal of the first polarity, and to set the duty cycle of the first switching element to a second value for providing the output signal of a second polarity responsive to the input signal of the first polarity.
