Abstract
A power stage of a voltage converter, including: a series capacitor having a first terminal coupled to a first switch node; a pair of second high-side switches coupled in series between a second switch node and a second terminal of the series capacitor; and a bias switch coupled between the first switch node and a middle node between the second high-side switches, wherein during operation, a voltage across each of the second high-side switches and the bias switch is less than a supply voltage.
