Abstract

See full text

A device for reconfigurable power conversion includes a plurality of power-consuming modules adapted to receive a plurality of electrical voltages, and a power converter module including a plurality N of power stages, each of which includes a power output which is adapted to supply one of the plurality of electrical voltages and adapted to be coupled with at least one of the others of the power outputs off the power converter module. Also included is a backplane including a plurality of power rails, each of which is adapted to distribute one of the plurality of electrical voltages from the power converter module to the plurality of power-consuming modules. The power converter module further includes a programmable converter controller which is adapted to reversibly configure the plurality of power stages.
