Abstract

A boost converter and a cell applicable to the boost converter are provided. The cell comprises a control circuit configured to generate a bottom control signal related to a bottom plate of a capacitor, and a top control signal related to a top plate of the capacitor to connect the capacitor based on one or more operational phases, and a booster configured to convert the top control signal generated by the control circuit, wherein the capacitor is configured to be sequentially connected to voltage levels through switches, based on the bottom control signal and the converted top control signal.
