Abstract

The present document relates to a power converter comprising an inductor, a first stage, and a second stage. The first stage may be coupled between an input of the power converter and the inductor, and the first stage may comprise a first flying capacitor. The second stage may be coupled between the inductor and an output of the power converter, and the second stage may comprise a second flying capacitor. A second terminal of the first flying capacitor may be connected to a first terminal of the inductor, and a first terminal of the second flying capacitor may be connected to a second terminal of the inductor.
