Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A power converter, comprising:
a capacitor network comprising a path; and
a controller to transition the capacitor network between a first state and a second state, wherein the first state and the second state occur substantially directly after one another;
wherein the path comprises a fly capacitor and a rebalancing capacitor, the fly capacitor configured in the absence of the rebalancing capacitor to be charge-imbalanced with respect to the capacitor network transitioning between the first state and the second state;
wherein the fly capacitor is configured in the presence of the rebalancing capacitor to be charge-balanced with respect to the capacitor network transitioning between the first state and the second state such that a capacitance of the rebalancing capacitor is substantially equal to a capacitance of the fly capacitor.
