Abstract
A switched capacitor converter can include a switched capacitor stage comprising a flying capacitor and a ladder of three switching devices. A first switching device can be connected between a DC input of the switched capacitor converter and an AC bus. A second switching device is connected between the DC input and a third switching device. The third switching device can be connected between the second switching device and ground. The flying capacitor can be connected between the AC bus and a junction of the second switching device and the third switching device. The switched capacitor converter can further include an inverter stage having an input coupled to the AC bus and an output that delivers an AC voltage.
