Technical FAQs 4

How are switched-capacitor inverters classified?

In general, switched-capacitor inverters are classified based on the output voltage levels and the voltage boost capability. Some structures generate voltage levels using an H-bridge, while others do not require an H-bridge.

What is the boost factor of a switched-capacitor inverter?

In this paper, considering the nature of switched-capacitor inverters and their primary challenges, an 11-level structure with a boost factor of 2.5, along with reduced voltage and current stress, is proposed. This structure requires a single voltage source, 10 switches, 3 capacitors, and 2 diodes.

How many Ma can a switched capacitor inverter run?

Typical IC switched capacitor inverters have maximum output currents of about 150mA maximum. Switched capacitor voltage converters do not maintain high efficiency for a wide range of ratios of input to output voltages, unlike their switching regulator counterparts.

How to design a multi-level switched capacitor inverter?

One of the key parameters in designing a multi-level switched capacitor inverter is selecting the appropriate capacitor size for the structure being used. If the capacitor size is less than the correct and suitable value, the voltage ripple across the capacitor will increase.
