    摘要: A DC to DC converter includes an input configured to receive a DC input voltage, an output and two serially connected capacitors connected across the output. The two serially connected capacitors include a first capacitor and a second capacitor connected together at a connection node. The converter also includes a first parallel converter connected between the input and the connection node, a second parallel converter connected between the input and the connection and in parallel with the fist parallel converter, and a controller that selectively connects the first and second parallel converters to the input based on a desired magnitude and polarity of a voltage at the output.

    摘要: An embodiment voltage converter includes a first transistor connected between a first node of the converter and a second node configured to receive a power supply voltage, a second transistor connected between the first node and a third node configured to receive a reference potential, a first circuit configured to control the first and second transistors, and a comparator including first and second inputs. The first input is configured to receive, during a first phase, a first voltage ramp and, during a second phase, a set point voltage. The second input is configured to receive, during the first phase, the set point voltage and, during the second phase, a second voltage ramp.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses example DC-DC converters. One example DC-DC converter includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, a switched capacitor SC circuit, and an inductor circuit. An input end of the SC circuit is coupled to a voltage input end, and an output end of the SC circuit is coupled to a voltage output end. The first capacitor and the second capacitor are sequentially connected in series between the voltage input end and the voltage output end. One end of the inductor circuit is selectively coupled between the first capacitor and the second capacitor or to a ground end, and the other end of the inductor circuit is coupled to the voltage output end.

    摘要: A switched mode power supply includes a multilevel buck power converter and a control circuit. The power converter includes a first buck circuit and a second buck circuit each having a power switch, a rectifier, and an inductor. The power supply may further include a resonant power converter coupled to the multilevel buck power converter. In some examples, the control circuit is configured to generate control signals for the first buck circuit's power switch and the second buck circuit's power switch to control the power converter, and adjust a switching frequency of the control signals to control the amount of reverse current flowing in the first buck circuit and the second buck circuit to achieve zero voltage switching of the first buck circuit's power switch and the second buck circuit's power switch. Other example multilevel buck power converters and power supplies are also disclosed.
