THREE-LEVEL DC-DC CONVERTER AND VOLTAGE BALANCING CIRCUIT THEREOF

摘要

A three-level DC-DC converter can include: first and second switches successively coupled between a first terminal of an input port and a middle terminal; third and fourth switches successively coupled between the middle terminal and a second terminal of the input port; a flying capacitor coupled between a common node of the first and second switches and a common node of the third and fourth switches; and a voltage balancing circuit configured to adjust a charge amount or a discharge amount of the flying capacitor based on an error signal characterizing an error between a voltage across the flying capacitor and a predetermined value, in order to maintain the voltage across the flying capacitor within a predetermined range, where the predetermined value is within the predetermined range.
