Abstract
A voltage converter includes a power switch having respective charging and discharging control terminals, and an output terminal coupled to a series connected inductor and capacitor. The voltage converter also includes a charging switch coupled to the charging control terminal of the power switch, a discharging switch coupled to the discharging control terminal of the power switch, and a feedback circuit coupling the power switch, charging switch and discharging switch to a node at which the capacitor and inductor are connected. During a charging phase, the charging switch couples the capacitor to the charging control terminal of the power switch, and during a discharging phase, the discharging switch couples the capacitor to the discharging control terminal of the power switch.
