Abstract
Techniques for multiple-phase, high-boost converters are provided. In an example, a multiple-phase switched-capacitor-inductor (MPSCI) boost converter can include a first phase circuit, a second phase circuit, and a capacitor. Each of the first phase circuit and the second phase circuit can include a first switch, an inductor having a first node coupled to a first supply rail, and a second switch configured to selectively couple a second node of the inductor to a second supply rail. The capacitor can be coupled between the second node of the inductor of the second phase circuit and the first switch of the second phase circuit.
