Dynamically-controlled, intrinsically regulated charge pump power converter

A electronic device including an energy source, a load device, and a power converter interposed between the energy source and the load device, the power converter comprising:

• a power output stage including a load capacitor and a fly capacitor, the power output stage configured to receive an input voltage from an energy source and to provide an output voltage across the load capacitor, the power output stage further configured to switch between a charge state and discharge state, wherein the charge state includes the fly capacitor being electrically in parallel to the input voltage and wherein the discharge state includes the input voltage and the fly capacitor being additively electrically coupled series across the load capacitor;
• and
• a dynamic controller operably coupled to the power output stage and adapted to respond to a voltage across the load capacitor and to a predetermined reference voltage to command the switching from the charge state to the discharge state matrix and providing a clockless, dynamically controlled charge pump cycle.
