Abstract:
A switched capacitor power converter comprising: an input terminal; an output terminal; a plurality of capacitors; a plurality of switches for selectively connecting the plurality of capacitors to each other, and/or to the input terminal, and/or to the output terminal; and a controller configured to operate the plurality of switches based on an output voltage, such that one or more of the plurality capacitors are connected between the input terminal and the output terminal as either: a first-topology, to provide a first conversion ratio; or a second-topology, to provide a second conversion ratio, wherein the second conversion ratio is different to the first conversion ratio.

Claim (Index 3):
The switched capacitor power converter of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a reference terminal; wherein:\n the input terminal is configured to receive an input voltage; \n the output terminal is configured to provide an output voltage; \n each of the plurality of capacitors comprises a first plate and a second plate; \n the controller is coupled to:\n the plurality of switches; and \n the voltage output terminal, \n \n wherein the controller comprises a clock-signal-input-terminal, configured to receive a clock-signal, having a first-phase and a second-phase, \n wherein, the controller is configured to compare the output voltage with a predetermined-threshold-voltage-condition, and:\n if the output voltage satisfies the predetermined-threshold-voltage-condition, then:\n configure a first-selected-set of the plurality of switches according to a first-input-topology during the first-phase, such that the first plate of each of a first-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the voltage input terminal, and the second plate of each of the first-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the output terminal; and \n configure the first-selected-set of the plurality of switches according to a first-output-topology during the second-phase, such that the first plate of each of a first-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the voltage output terminal, and the second plate of each of the first-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the reference terminal, or \n \n if the output voltage does not satisfy the predetermined-threshold-voltage-condition, then:\n configure a second-selected-set of the plurality of switches according to a second-input-topology during the first-phase, such that the first plate of each of a second-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the voltage input terminal, and the second plate of each of the second-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the output terminal; and \n configure the second-selected-set of the plurality of switches according to a second-output-topology during the second-phase, such that the first plate of each of a second-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the voltage output terminal, and the second plate of each of the second-selected-set of the plurality of capacitors is coupled to the reference terminal, \n \n \n wherein, the first-input-topology is different to the second-input-topology, and the first-output-topology is different to the second-output-topology.
