Abstract

A generic modeling methodology that analyzes the losses in Switched Capacitors Converters (SCC) was developed and verified by simulation and experiments. The proposed analytical approach is unified, covering both hard and soft switched SCC topologies. The major advantage of the proposed model is that it expresses the losses as a function of the currents passing through each flying capacitor. Since these currents are linearly proportional to the output current, the model is also applicable to SCC with multiple capacitors. The proposed model provides an insight into the expected losses in SCC and the effects of their operational conditions such as duty cycle. As such, the model can help in the optimization of SCC systems and their control to achieve desired regulations.
