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 25):
The pre-balancing circuit of  claim 21 , wherein each comparator circuit comprises a first comparator device and a second comparator device,\n a first comparator device configured to, when enabled, monitor a charge of the first capacitor and, when the charge of the first capacitor exceeds a first threshold charge level above the reference level, activate a first current source connected to the first capacitor to draw the first current from the first capacitor until the charge of the first capacitor satisfies the first threshold charge level; and a second comparator device configured to, when enabled, monitor a charge of the first capacitor and, when the charge of the first capacitor is below a second threshold charge level below the reference level, activate a second current source connected to the first capacitor to provide the second current to the first capacitor until the charge of the first capacitor satisfies the second threshold charge level, wherein the charge level range is defined as being between the first threshold charge level and the second threshold charge level.
