A switched-capacitor converter, comprising: an input ; an output ; a rectifier at the output , wherein the rectifier comprises a first branch and a second branch ; a plurality of legs coupled between the input and the rectifier , each leg comprising a capacitor (C1-C5), a first group of the legs being coupled to the first branch of the rectifier and a second group of the legs being coupled to the second branch of the rectifier ; a switch device (Q1-Q6) connected to each leg; and a controller configured to produce a first PWM, pulse width modulation, signal and a second PWM signal complementary to the first PWM signal, wherein each switch device (Q1, Q3, Q5) connected to the first group of legs is configured to receive the first PWM signal and each switch device (Q2, Q4, Q6) connected to the second group of legs is configured to receive the second PWM signal so as to alternate switching of the switch devices (Q1, Q3, Q5) connected to the first group and of switch devices (Q2, Q4, Q6) connected to the second group to transfer energy from the input to the output , characterized in that each switch device (Q1-Q6) is implemented as an integrated power stage configured to sense an output current of the integrated power stage, wherein each switch device (Q1-Q6) is configured to adjust the duty cycle of the received first or second PWM signal based on zero-crossing information derived from the respective sensed output current of the integrated power stage so that each switch device (Q1-Q6) is turned off when the current through that switch device (Q1-Q6) crosses or nearly crosses zero and remains off until all switch devices connected to the same group of legs have been turned off for a predetermined amount of time. an input ; an output ; a rectifier at the output , wherein the rectifier comprises a first branch and a second branch ; a plurality of legs coupled between the input and the rectifier , each leg comprising a capacitor (C1-C5), a first group of the legs being coupled to the first branch of the rectifier and a second group of the legs being coupled to the second branch of the rectifier ; a switch device (Q1-Q6) connected to each leg; and a controller configured to produce a first PWM, pulse width modulation, signal and a second PWM signal complementary to the first PWM signal, wherein each switch device (Q1, Q3, Q5) connected to the first group of legs is configured to receive the first PWM signal and each switch device (Q2, Q4, Q6) connected to the second group of legs is configured to receive the second PWM signal so as to alternate switching of the switch devices (Q1, Q3, Q5) connected to the first group and of switch devices (Q2, Q4, Q6) connected to the second group to transfer energy from the input to the output , characterized in that each switch device (Q1-Q6) is implemented as an integrated power stage configured to sense an output current of the integrated power stage, wherein each switch device (Q1-Q6) is configured to adjust the duty cycle of the received first or second PWM signal based on zero-crossing information derived from the respective sensed output current of the integrated power stage so that each switch device (Q1-Q6) is turned off when the current through that switch device (Q1-Q6) crosses or nearly crosses zero and remains off until all switch devices connected to the same group of legs have been turned off for a predetermined amount of time. <EOS>
