    摘要: A control circuit is configured to control a switched capacitor converter to operate in a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) mode. The control circuit includes a one-shot circuitry configured to generate a one-shot pulse to drive the switched capacitor converter to operate in the PFM mode. A PFM mode comparator is coupled to the one-shot circuitry, and is configured to trigger, based on an output voltage of the switched capacitor converter, the one-shot circuitry to generate the one-shot pulse. The switched capacitor converter may be controlled to enter or exit the PFM mode operation based on a trailing current of a flying capacitor of the switched capacitor converter, an output current of the switched capacitor converter, a charging time duration of the flying capacitor when the switched capacitor converter is operating in the PFM mode, or a PFM switching period of the switched capacitor converter operating in the PFM mode.
