Abstract
Disclosed embodiments may include a power converter having a first and a second terminal, a charge pump power conversion circuit, and a protection circuit. The first terminal may be to receive an input voltage. The second terminal may be to output an output voltage. The charge pump power conversion circuit may be electrically coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal, and to convert the input voltage to the output voltage. The protection circuit may be electrically coupled to the charge pump power conversion circuit. The protection circuit may include a first switching device to, in response to a control signal, block a power flow from the first terminal to the second terminal, and from the second terminal to the first terminal.
