Switched Capacitor DC-DC Converters: A Survey on the Main Topologies, Design Characteristics, and Applications

This work presents a review of the main topologies of switched capacitors (SCs) used in DC-DC power conversion. Initially, the basic configurations are analyzed, that is, voltage doubler, series-parallel, Dickson, Fibonacci, and ladder. Some aspects regarding the choice of semiconductors and capacit...
