Abstract
A device comprises a first comparator to generate a first clock signal based on a reference voltage and a first voltage at an output of a switched-capacitor power converter (SCPC), and a second comparator to generate a first control signal based on the first voltage and a threshold voltage. A sensor is to generate a second control signal based on one of a level of a current of the first clock signal, or a duty cycle of the first clock signal. A frequency divider circuit is to generate a second clock signal based on the first control signal and the second control signal, and in some embodiments, further based on one of the first clock signal or a third clock signal. Controller circuitry is to operate switch circuitry of the SCPC based on the first clock signal.
