Abstract
A voltage converter system includes a negator coupled to a switched-capacitor converter (SCC). The negator circuit is coupled to an input terminal and generates a negative input voltage signal. The negator circuit includes a flying capacitor, a pair of first switches and a pair of second switches connected in a H-bridge configuration. The SCC is coupled to the input terminal and the negator circuit. The SCC includes a plurality of converter stages. Each stage of the plurality of converter stages includes a capacitor and an assembly of a first switch and a second switch. The system further includes a control unit, to activate or deactivate the pair of first switches, the pair of second switches, each of the first switches, and each of the second switches. A configuration of the negator circuit and the SCC results in a voltage conversion ratio between the output voltage signal and the input voltage signal.
