    Abstract: A switching capacitor power conversion circuit includes: a conversion capacitor, plural conversion transistors and an output capacitor connected to an output node. In a switching conversion mode, the switching capacitor power conversion circuit switches connections of the capacitor to convert the input power into an output power on an output node. During a first pre-charging period, a first conversion transistor is controlled to provide a first pre-charging current to pre-charge the conversion capacitor to a predetermined voltage level, and the output capacitor is prevented from being charged. During a second pre-charging period, a second conversion transistor is controlled to provide a second pre-charging current to pre-charge the output capacitor to the predetermined voltage level, and the second pre-charging current supplies a load current to a load circuit.

    Abstract: A charger circuit for providing a charging current and voltage to a battery includes a power delivery unit and a capacitive power conversion circuit. The power delivery unit converts an input power to a DC voltage and current. The capacitive power conversion circuit includes a conversion switch circuit including plural conversion switches and being coupled with one or plural conversion capacitors, a regulation switch, and a conversion control circuit. In a current scaled-up charging mode, the DC current is regulated, and the conversion control circuit controls the connection of the plural conversion capacitors such that the charging current is scaled-up of the DC current substantially by a predetermined current scale-up factor. In a constant voltage linear charging mode, the conversion control circuit linearly controls the regulation switch to regulate the level of the charging voltage to a predetermined constant voltage level.

    Abstract: A charger circuit for providing a charging power to a battery includes a power delivery unit and a power conversion circuit. The power conversion circuit includes at least one conversion switch coupled to an inductor, a front stage switch conducting a DC power generated by the power delivery unit to generate a mid-stage power, and a direct charging switch. In a switching charging mode, the conversion switch converts the mid-stage power to the charging current onto a charging node. In a direct charging mode, the power delivery unit regulates the DC current, and the front stage switch and the direct charging switch conduct the DC current onto the charging node. The body diodes of the front stage switch and the direct charging switch are reversely coupled, and the body diodes of the front stage switch and the conversion switch are reversely coupled, for blocking the parasitic body current.
