Abstract:
Methods and systems of controlling a switched capacitor converter are provided. Upon determining that a voltage across a flying capacitor is above a first threshold, a first current is drawn from a first terminal of the flying capacitor by a first current source, and a second current is provided to a second terminal of the flying capacitor by a second current source. Upon determining that the voltage across the flying capacitor is below a second threshold, the first current is provided to the first terminal of the flying capacitor by the first current source, and the second current is drawn from the second terminal of the flying capacitor by the second current source. Upon determining that the voltage across the flying capacitor is above the second threshold and below the first threshold from the reference voltage, the first and second current sources are turned OFF.

Claim (Index 37):
The pre-balancing circuit of  claim 31 , wherein the switching capacitor converter comprises:\n a plurality of transistors, wherein a flying capacitor is connected between a first node linking load current paths of a first two serially connected transistors of the plurality of transistors and a second node linking load current paths of a second two serially connected transistors of the plurality of transistors, a first transistor of the first two serially connected transistors being connected to ground, wherein each transistor of the plurality of transistors comprises a body diode, and wherein, when the voltage across the output capacitor is below a second threshold, the first transistor is switched on to connect the flying capacitor to ground while the other transistors of the plurality of transistors are switched off, and the second current is provided by the first current source to the output capacitor to charge the output capacitor and, through a respective body diode of one of the second two serially connected transistors, to the flying capacitor to charge the flying capacitor.
