Abstract
A multi-level converter comprises one or more flying capacitors configured to operate at balanced voltages. The multi-level converter comprises a plurality of switching groups comprising pairs of switches operable to transfer energy to and from an inductor and the one or more flying capacitors for inverting an input voltage to an inverted output voltage. The multi-level converter comprises the inductor configured to operate according to an inductor frequency greater than a switching frequency used to control the plurality of switching groups.
