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 6):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said switched-capacitor network comprises a first stack node and a second stack node, wherein said first pump capacitor is connected to said first stack node and a second pump capacitor is connected to said second stack node, wherein a plurality of stack switches connects said second stack node to said input terminal, wherein said power converter further comprises a bypass path between said input terminal and said second stack node, wherein said bypass path bypasses said first stack node, said plurality of stack switches, and said first pump capacitor.
