Abstract :
Simple topological rules enable the attainment of apparently novel schemes of DC-DC convertors. The schemes attained in this way are usually of the current source type. They are duals of some familiar voltage source convertors. Further simple modifications of the previously suggested current source schemes lead in certain cases to the development of apparently unknown and yet useful versions of the voltage source convertor.
