A converter having a tapped inductor to facilitate controlling operating characteristics of the converter. The converter may be configured as a boost converter with tapping of the inductor at the voltage output and the converter may be configured as a buck converter with tapping of the inductor at the voltage input. The converter may also be configured as a bi-direction dual voltage converter having capabilities to switch between boost and buck modes.
