Abstract
Power driver circuits may be used to provide higher voltage capabilities beyond what may managed by a single transistor. To reduce or eliminate effects associated with a stacked transistor voltage driver, a secondary stacked transistor voltage driver may be separated from a primary stacked transistor voltage driver, where the secondary driver is driven using time-shifted control signals. A switching schema may be used to interleave the several cells of a single continuous capacitive voltage regulator. A multi-stage approach may include both a number of fixed-ratio or multi-ratio capacitive voltage converter stages and final stage that is switched out of phase from the preceding stages, where the final stage includes a continuously scalable capacitive converter.
