Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for providing an output voltage using any of multiple configurable modes of a switched capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR). In an embodiment, a switched capacitor (SC) voltage converter comprising buses, and cores each coupled to the buses. A first core of the cores comprises a capacitor, and a switch network by which a terminal of the capacitor is to be switchedly coupled to first ones of the buses. Controller circuitry is coupled to operate the SC voltage converter according to a currently configured one of the modes. The modes each correspond to a different respective sequence of switch states to be provided with the switch network. In an embodiment, a first switch state sequence and a second switch state sequence each include a different respective total number of switch states.
