@article{Kimball2005ModelingOC, title={Modeling of capacitor impedance in switching converters}, author={Jonathan W. Kimball and Philip T. Krein and K.R. Cahill}, journal={IEEE Power Electronics Letters}, year={2005}, volume={3}, pages={136-140} }
Switched capacitor (SC) converters are gaining acceptance as alternatives to traditional, inductor-based switching power converters. Proper design of SC converters requires an understanding of all loss sources and their impacts on circuit operation. In the present work, an equivalent resistance method is developed for analysis, and equivalent resistance formulae are presented for various modes of operation. Quasiresonant converters are explored and compared to standard SC converters…
