Abstract:
A step-up power-converter has stack nodes, each of which connects to a stack switch and to a pump capacitor to form a switched-capacitor network. Among the stack nodes are first and second stack-nodes. The second stack-node drives a particular stack switch from the plurality of stack switches. When all of the stack switches are open, the first voltage causes the first stack-node to have a first stack-node voltage and causes the second stack-node to have a second stack-node voltage that is less than the first stack-node voltage. During the first state, the second stack-node voltage is insufficient to drive the particular stack-switch. During the second state, the second stack-node voltage is sufficient to drive the particular stack-switch. Causing the switched-capacitor network to transition from the first state to the second state includes, among other things, causing the second stack-node voltage to become sufficient to drive the particular stack-switch.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said power converter comprises a diode along a path that connects said first terminal and said second stack-node, wherein said path bypasses at least one of said stack nodes, wherein said diode is configured to block current from said second stack-node to said input terminal during said first and second states, wherein current flows through said path during said first state, and wherein current flow through said path ceases following transition into said second state.
