Patent attributes
Hybrid power converters are presented. The power converters can receive an input voltage at an input node and generate an output voltage at an output node. The power converters can have an inductor coupled between an inductor node and the output node. The power converters can have a first flying capacitor coupled between a first capacitor node and a second capacitor node. The power converters can have a second flying capacitor coupled between a third capacitor node and the inductor node. A first switching element may be coupled between the input node and the first capacitor node, and a fifth switching element may be coupled between the first capacitor node and the third capacitor node. Additionally, a sixth switching element may be coupled between the second capacitor node and the inductor node.
