Abstract
Apparatuses, devices, and methods for operating a multi-level voltage converter are described. A circuit can, in response to a completion of a state of the multi-level voltage converter, output an indication that indicates whether a voltage of a flying capacitor in a multi-level voltage converter reaches a reference voltage or fails to reach the reference voltage. The completed state can be one of a charge state and a discharge state. A controller can, in response to the indication indicating the voltage of the flying capacitor fails to reach the reference voltage, repeat the completed state to operate the multi-level voltage converter.
