17.3.2 Switched Capacitor Converters
Magnetic components make the integration of power supplies dicult, this being a limitation when
attempting to reduce size and cost. ere are commercial monolithic circuits that integrate active com-
ponents, i.e., switches and controllers, and require the connection of the reactive components to com-
plete the power supply. Fully or partially integrated in a monolithic circuit switched capacitor (SC)
power converters can also be found in low power applications [I01].
As is stated in [M97], the conversion ratio of a two-phase SC converter with no load, based on
Makowski cells i ...
