Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include a charge pump stage having multiple charge storage elements arranged to provide multiple sets of voltages in alternating phases. The integrated circuit may include a voltage multiplexing stage having multiple multiplexers arranged to receive the multiple sets of voltages in the alternating phases. Each multiplexer may provide a selected voltage from the multiple sets of voltages based on a conversion ratio. The integrated circuit may include a voltage summing stage having multiple sampling charge storage elements arranged to receive the selected voltages from each multiplexer and provide an output voltage as a sum of the selected voltages received from each multiplexer.
