    Abstract: One example discloses a switching capacitive power converter, SCPC, including: an energy storage element; a voltage reference controller, and configured to output an adjusted reference voltage based on a received fixed reference voltage; and a charge pumping circuit configured to operate the SCPC at a charge pumping frequency and configured to charge the energy storage element at the charge pumping frequency if an absolute value of the power converter's output voltage is below an absolute value of the adjusted reference voltage; wherein if the charge pumping frequency is within a predetermined frequency exclusion range, the voltage reference controller is configured to set the adjusted reference voltage to a value such that the charge pumping frequency is no longer within the predetermined frequency exclusion range.

    Abstract: This specification discloses methods and systems for reducing negative undershoot during transient load response for a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) boost power converter. In some embodiments, reduction of negative undershoot during transient load response is achieved by overriding the PWM duty cycle to a maximum duty cycle when VDDBOOST drops during load step. This maximum duty cycle (“max”) mode is triggered when VDDBOOST is within a hysteresis window. Setpoint for maximum duty cycle is versus DCDC converter output and input voltage. In some embodiments, a lookup table is implemented for determining the setpoint for maximum duty cycle.

    Abstract: A DC-DC converter uses a switched capacitor arrangement. A filter capacitor is connected between one terminal of the capacitor arrangement and a fixed voltage line and a calibration arrangement is used for setting or enabling selection of the capacitance of the filter capacitor.In this way, a capacitance is added to a terminal of the switched capacitor arrangement. The capacitance value can be chosen or adjusted to keep the DC-DC converter current capability within specification limits.
