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 16):
The method of  claim 14 , wherein activating the second switch circuit includes discharging the second inductor after the first and third switch circuits are turned off to reduce the drain to source voltage of the second switch circuit to zero volts before the second switch is turned on.
