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 32):
The pre-balancing circuit of  claim 31 , further comprising a second comparator circuit coupled to a second current source and a third current source, the second comparator circuit being configured to:\n control the second and third current sources such that the second current source draws a second current from a first terminal of a flying capacitor of the switched capacitor converter, and the third current source provides a third current to a second terminal of the flying capacitor responsive to a voltage across the flying capacitor being above a third threshold voltage; control the second and third current sources such that the second current source provides the second current to the first terminal of the flying capacitor, and the third current source draws the third current from the second terminal of the flying capacitor responsive to the voltage across the flying capacitor being below a fourth threshold voltage; and turn off the second and third current sources being the voltage across the flying capacitor being above the fourth threshold voltage and below the third threshold voltage.
