A convertible debenture is a type of convertible bond. However, a debenture is unsecured debt, which means that there is no collateral for the bond. The alternative to a debenture would be a secured bond such as a mortgage bond that would be secured by real estate. If the company goes out of business, the collateral for the secured bonds would be used to pay off those bonds and the holders of the debentures would be paid from whatever is leftover. Most convertible bonds are debentures.
