Abstract
A converter includes L phase legs, each phase leg of the L phase legs comprising a plurality of switches connected in series between an input power source and ground, wherein a first flying capacitor of an Mth phase is cross-coupled between an Mth phase leg and an (M+1)th phase leg, and a first flying capacitor of an Lth phase is cross-coupled between an Lth phase leg and a first phase leg, and wherein switches of the L phase legs are configured such that a ratio of an input voltage of the hybrid multi-phase step-down power converter to an output voltage of the hybrid multi-phase step-down power converter is equal to N/D, and wherein L, M, N are positive integers with M<L, L>2, and D is a duty cycle of the hybrid multi-phase step-down power converter.
