Abstract:
A voltage converter circuit comprises a charge pump circuit, a switching converter circuit, and a control circuit. The charge pump circuit includes multiple switch circuits connected in series. The switching converter circuit includes a first inductor coupled to an output node of the voltage converter circuit, and a second inductor coupled to a series connection of the multiple switch circuits. The control circuit is configured to control activation of the multiple switch circuits to generate a regulated voltage at the output node, and to activate each of the multiple switch circuits when a drain to source voltage of the switch circuit is zero volts.

Claim (Index 18):
A supply circuit comprising:\n a charge pump circuit including multiple switch circuits connected in series; a step-down switching converter circuit including a first inductor coupled to an output node of the supply circuit; and a second inductor coupled to a series connection of the multiple switch circuits; and a control circuit configured to control activation of the multiple switch circuits according to a duty cycle to generate a regulated voltage at the output node, and to activate each of the multiple switch circuits when a drain to source voltage of the switch circuit is zero volts.
