SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CAPACITOR CHARGE EXTRACTION

A system (100) for providing electrical power to a load includes a boost converter (114) with an input (120) and an output (122). The boost converter (114) is configured to receive power at a first voltage at the input, and to supply power at a higher second voltage from the output. A capacitor (118...

More Information
Summary:A system (100) for providing electrical power to a load includes a boost converter (114) with an input (120) and an output (122). The boost converter (114) is configured to receive power at a first voltage at the input, and to supply power at a higher second voltage from the output. A capacitor (118), e.g., a super capacitor, is operatively connected between the output of the boost converter and a ground node. A first switch (130) is operatively connected between a first input node (126) and the output (122) of the boost converter for switching between a first state connecting the capacitor to the output of the boost converter (114) and a second state connecting the capacitor (118) to supply input voltage to the input of the boost converter (114).
