Abstract
A multi-level conversion circuit and a control method for flying capacitor voltage thereof are provided. In the multi-level conversion circuit, each flying capacitor is connected between a common connection node of the lower switches connected therewith and a common connection node of the upper switches connected therewith. When the conversion circuit works in a DCM, the control method includes steps of: (a) determining the main switch and synchronous rectification switch of the lower and upper switches; (b) acquiring an adjustment value corresponding to each flying capacitor; and (c) adjusting a duty ratio of the main switch according to the adjustment value corresponding to the flying capacitor connected therewith, wherein the adjustment trend of the duty ratio under D<(N−2)/(N−1) is opposite to that under (N−2)/(N−1)<D≤1, and D is the duty ratio before the adjustment.
