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 22):
The pre-balancing circuit of  claim 21 , wherein the one or more current sources comprise first and second current sources, wherein the first capacitor is a flying capacitor, and wherein the one or more comparator circuits comprise:\n a first comparator circuit coupled to the a first current source and a second current source, the first comparator circuit being configured to control first and second current sources such that, responsive to a voltage across the flying capacitor being above a first threshold voltage, the first current source draws the first current from a first terminal of the flying capacitor of the switched capacitor converter, and the second current source provides the second current to a second terminal of the flying capacitor.
