    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.

    Abstract: A PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) controller includes a current detector, a current emulator, a voltage-to-current converter, and a current adder. The current detector detects a first current, and generates a second current according to the first current. The current detector receives an input voltage and outputs an output voltage. The current emulator obtains the relative information of a lower-gate current. The voltage-to-current converter draws a third current from the current emulator according to the input voltage and the output voltage. The current emulator generates a fourth current according to the relative information and the third current. The current adder adds the fourth current to the second current, so as to generate a sum current.
