Power converter integrated circuit

A power converter integrated circuit comprising:

• a switch network comprising:
• a plurality of switches;
• a first set of coupling nodes for coupling the switch network to a first flying capacitor;
• a second set of coupling nodes for coupling the switch network to a second flying capacitor;
• an output node for coupling the switch network to an output capacitor;
• and
• a third set of one or more coupling nodes for coupling the switch network to an inductor,
• wherein the power converter integrated circuit is operable in a first forward mode as a switched capacitor converter and in a second forward mode as an inductive converter,
• wherein:
• in the first forward mode the switch network is operable to couple the first flying capacitor in series with the output capacitor in a first phase of operation, and to couple the first flying capacitor and the output capacitor in parallel in a second phase of operation;
• and
• in the second forward mode the switch network is operable to couple the first flying capacitor in series with the inductor and the output capacitor in a phase of operation and to couple the first flying capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor, via the inductor, in a subsequent phase of operation.
