  • Patent number: 10615697
    Abstract: A multi-level switching converter and a method which converts an input voltage provided at an input node to an output voltage provided at an output node is described. The multi-level switching converter has a first converter branch with a first set of switches and a first flying capacitor, and a second converter branch with a second set of switches and a second flying capacitor. Furthermore, the switching converter has a joint inductor for the first and second converter branch, and control circuitry. The control circuitry controls the first and second set of switches to set the output voltage in accordance to a reference voltage, and by doing so it provides a robust regulation of the capacitor voltages across the first and second flying capacitors.
