Abstract:
A switched capacitor voltage converter circuit includes: a switched capacitor converter and a control circuit. In a charging process of a resonant operation mode, the switches in the switched capacitor converter operate to form a series connection of at least one capacitor and an inductor between a first voltage and a second voltage, as a charging path. In a discharging process of the resonant operation mode, the switches operate to form a series connection of each capacitor and the inductor between the second voltage and a ground level, thus forming plural discharging paths simultaneously or sequentially. In an inductor switching mode, the switches operate to couple one end of the inductor to the first voltage or the ground level alternatingly. The control circuit decides to operate in the resonant operation mode or the inductor switching mode according to the first voltage, thereby maintaining the second voltage within a predetermined range.
