Abstract
(EN)
A switched capacitive voltage converter for converting an input voltage (Ui) between an input terminal (I) and reference terminal (RF) to an output voltage (U0) between an output terminal (O) and the reference terminal (RF). The voltage converter comprises only two capacitors (C1, C2) and five switches (S1-S5). The first (S1) and the second switch (S2) are coupled in series between the input terminal (I) and the output terminal (O). The third (S3) and the fifth (S5) switch are also coupled between the input terminal (I) and the output terminal (O). The first capacitor (C1) is coupled in series between a node common to the first (S1) and the second (S2) switches and a node common to the third (S3) and the fifth (S5) switch. The fourth switch (S4) is coupled between the node common to the third (S3) and the fifth (S5) switch and the reference terminal (RF). The second capacitor (C2) is coupled between the output terminal (O) and the reference terminal (RF). The voltage converter disclosed herein can operate as an up converter, a down converter as well as a buffer.

L'invention un convertisseur de tension capacitive commuté permettant de convertir une tension d'entrée (Ui) entre une borne d'entrée (I) et une borne de référence (RF) en une tension de sortie (U0) entre une borne de sortie (O) et une borne de référence (RF). Le convertisseur de tension comprend seulement deux condensateurs (C1, C2) et cinq commutateurs (S1-S5). Les premier (S1) et second (S2) commutateurs sont montés en série entre la borne d'entrée (I) et la borne de sortie (O). Les troisième (S3) et cinquième (S5) commutateurs sont également montés entre la borne d'entrée (I) et la borne de sortie (O). Le premier condensateur (C1) est monté en série entre un noeud commun aux premier (S1) et second (S2) commutateurs et un noeud commun au troisième (S3) et cinquième (S5) commutateurs. Le quatrième (S4) commutateur est monté entre le noeud commun aux troisième (S3) et cinquième (S5) commutateurs et la borne de référence (RF). Le second condensateur (C2) est monté entre la borne de sortie (O) et la borne de référence (RF). Le convertisseur de tension peut servir de convertisseur élévateur de tension, de convertisseur abaisseur de tension et de tampon.
