Abstract
This paper presents a detailed analysis about the power losses and efficiency of multilevel dc-dc converters. The analysis considers different loss mechanisms and gives out quantitative descriptions of the power losses and useful design criteria. The analysis is based on a three-level multilevel dc-dc converter and can be extended to other switched-capacitor converters. The comparison between the theoretical analysis and the experimental results are shown to substantiate the theory
