Multilevel switched capacitor regulator with multiple cores

A device comprising:

• first circuitry to receive an indication of a characteristic of a delivery of power with a switched-capacitor (SC) voltage converter, wherein the SC voltage converter includes multiple buses, and multiple cores each coupled to the multiple buses, wherein a first core of the multiple cores includes a first capacitor;
• and
• a first switch network comprising first switch circuits which are each coupled between a first terminal of the first capacitor, and a different respective bus of the multiple buses, the different respective bus of the multiple buses including connections to at least two other capacitors from two or more different other cores;
• the first circuitry further to perform a selection of a first mode from among multiple modes based on the indication, wherein the multiple modes each correspond to a different respective sequence of switch states of the first core;
• and
• second circuitry to operate the SC voltage converter according to any of the multiple modes, wherein, responsive to the first circuitry, the second circuitry is to transition to the first mode based on the selection, and wherein, based on the first mode, the second circuitry is to transition the first core through a first plurality of switch states according to a first sequence.
