Abstract: A switched capacitor voltage converter circuit includes: a switched capacitor converter and a control circuit; wherein the control circuit adjusts operation frequencies and/or duty ratios of operation signals which control switches of the switched capacitor converter, so as to adjust a ratio of a first voltage to a second voltage to a predetermined ratio. When the control circuit decreases the duty ratios of the operation signals, if a part of the switches of the switched capacitor converter are turned ON, an inductor current flowing toward the second voltage is in a first state; if the inductor current continues to flow via a current freewheeling path, the inductor current flowing toward the second voltage becomes in a second state. A corresponding inductor is thereby switched between the first state and the second state to perform inductive power conversion.

Abstract: Multiple circuits in a computing device can share one or more conductive elements. The use of the conductive element can vary by circuit, such as an antenna radiator for a radio frequency (RF) circuit or an electrode for an electrocardiography (ECG) circuit. The circuitry sharing a conductive element can utilize signals obtained over different frequency ranges. Those ranges can be used to select decoupling circuitry, or elements, that can enable the respective circuits to obtain signals over a respective frequency range, excluding signals over one or more other frequency ranges corresponding to other circuitry sharing the circuit. Such an approach allows for concurrent independent operation of the circuitry sharing a conductive element.
