Abstract
One example discloses a switching capacitive power converter, SCPC, including: an energy storage element; a voltage reference controller, and configured to output an adjusted reference voltage based on a received fixed reference voltage; and a charge pumping circuit configured to operate the SCPC at a charge pumping frequency and configured to charge the energy storage element at the charge pumping frequency if an absolute value of the power converter's output voltage is below an absolute value of the adjusted reference voltage; wherein if the charge pumping frequency is within a predetermined frequency exclusion range, the voltage reference controller is configured to set the adjusted reference voltage to a value such that the charge pumping frequency is no longer within the predetermined frequency exclusion range.
