摘要: An apparatus comprises a switch-capacitor network, a power-switch network and a controller. The switch-capacitor network has a plurality of control switches and a plurality of flying capacitors, where the control switches are configured to connect two of the flying capacitors in series in a first configuration and in parallel in a second configuration. The power-switch network has a plurality of power switches and is coupled between an input port having an input voltage and an output port having an output voltage, where the power switches are configured to couple the switch-capacitor network to the input port and the output port in different ways during a charging phase and a discharging phase. The controller is configured to operate the control switches to configure the switch-capacitor network into different configurations during the charging phase or the discharging phase such that a ratio of the output voltage over the input voltage is changed in an operation mode.

摘要: A device has a plurality of coils arranged along a perimeter within the device, where each coil has a winding configured to be coupled to a power converter through a resonant capacitor, and forms a resonator with the resonant capacitor. The device has also a connection core which is magnetically coupled to the plurality of coils. Furthermore, the device has a plurality of power converters, where each power converter is coupled to one of the plurality of coils, and is configured such that a current flowing through the winding of the coil has the same frequency as other winding currents in the device, and the phase angle of the current is approximately equal to the space angle of the coil, so a rotating magnetic field is formed in a space around the device.

摘要: A device to drive a plurality of power switches in a power converter with an input voltage port having an input voltage includes a drive resonant tank, a switch network, a control block configured to control the turn-on and turn-off of drive switches, and an output port. The drive resonant tank has a resonant inductor, and a resonant capacitor which includes an input capacitance of a power switch. The switch network has a plurality of drive switches, which are controlled such that the drive resonant tank goes through a resonant state and a pseudo clamp state consecutively during a switching period. A gate drive voltage of a power switch fluctuates slightly during the pseudo clamp state. The output port has two terminals coupled to a gate and a source of a power switch respectively.
