Abstract:
A voltage converter includes a capacitive voltage conversion circuit, an output capacitor, an inductor, a current detector, and a controller. The capacitive voltage conversion circuit includes switches, at least one flying capacitor, and an intermediate capacitor at an output portion. The current detector detects a current flowing in the inductor. The controller controls the switches in the capacitive voltage conversion circuit to change between at least two states by comparing the current flowing in the inductor to a threshold current.
