Abstract
A multi-phase hybrid power converter architecture which provides high efficiency, high power density and high conversion ratios for non-isolated DC to DC power conversion. Hybrid converters are described in which a switched-capacitor network is interoperably merged with a switched-inductor network having multiple inductors, resulting in a circuit with reduced component count and in which soft-charging of the capacitors is performed. Multi-phase switching is utilized and includes a freewheeling state for output voltage regulation in which inductor current ramps down. The SC converter can be configured to provide various conversion ratios, such as 4-to-1, 6-to-1 and 8-to-1, and optimized for the needs of specific application.
