Abstract

A power converter circuit is disclosed. In one aspect, the power converter circuit includes a power input terminal, a first output terminal and a second output terminal, a plurality of capacitors coupled to the power input terminal, the first output terminal and the second output terminal, a plurality of switches coupled to the plurality of capacitors and arranged to repetitively cycle the plurality of capacitors between a first configuration and a second configuration to generate a first output voltage at the first output terminal and a second output voltage at the second output terminal, and where the circuit is arranged to limit a maximum voltage applied to each of the plurality of capacitors and switches to a fraction of a voltage at the power input terminal.
