First Cycle:
Second Cycle:
In this embodiment, the balancing module may balance the voltages at both ends of the first capacitor and the second capacitor by controlling the switches in the first resonant circuit in conjunction with influence of the first resonant cavity on a current. Further, different transformation ratios are obtained based on a quantity of capacitors of the capacitor module and a series voltage division principle. In addition, on the one hand, because there is the converter, during power-on, the conversion circuit in this embodiment can normally implement slow startup (that is, the output voltage Vo can be controlled; actually, a power-on waveform and a voltage rising speed of Vo can be controlled). This effectively resolves a problem that a conventional resonant switched capacitor circuit cannot be controlled in a closed-loop manner and is not easy to implement slow startup. On the other hand, in case of overcurrent, the converter may be used to implement detection and protection.
For ease of understanding, different transformation ratios are separately described below.

The other end of the first capacitor C1 is connected to a third end of the converter, and a fourth end of the converter is separately connected to the other end of the target capacitor C0, a second end of the third switch Q1-3, and a second end of the seventh switch Qn-3.
One end of the first resonant cavity is separately connected to a second end of the first switch Q1-1 and a first end of the third switch Q1-3, and the other end of the first resonant cavity is separately connected to a second end of the second switch Q1-2 and a first end of the fourth switch Q1-4.

In this embodiment, the first resonant cavity may include the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the first resonant inductor Lr1 that are connected in series; or may include the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the first resonant inductor Lr1 that are connected in series, and another capacitor connected to both ends of the first resonant inductor Lr1 as a whole. There are other types of equivalent forms. This is not limited herein. The (N−1)th resonant cavity may include the (N−1)th resonant capacitor Crn and the (N−1)th resonant inductor Lrn that are connected in series; or may include the (N−1)th resonant capacitor Crn and the (N−1)th resonant inductor Lrn that are connected in series, and another capacitor connected to both ends of the (N−1)th resonant inductor Lrn as a whole. There are other types of equivalent forms. This is not limited herein.
In this embodiment, when the switch is an NMOS, a first end of the switch is a drain electrode of the NMOS, a second end of the switch is a source electrode of the NMOS, a third end of the switch is a gate electrode of the NMOS, and the gate electrode is connected to a drive signal. The drive signal may be a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. This is not limited herein.
In this embodiment, a duty cycle of driving of each switch is close to 50%, that is, a turn-on time of each switch is approximately half of one cycle, and the switch works at a resonance frequency of the resonant cavity or near the resonance frequency. It may be understood that, in actual application, a dead time needs to be reserved for an actual circuit, and therefore the duty cycle may be approximately 50%.
For ease of understanding, Table 1 is shown:
Turn-on is 1, and turn-off is 0. The state 1 and the state 3 indicate that driving of each resonant circuit is in-phase (synchronous turn-on and turn-off), and the state 2 and the state 4 indicate that driving of each resonant circuit is out-of-phase (staggered turn-on and turn-off).
It may be understood that Table 1 is merely an example to illustrate turn-on and turn-off states of the switches. In actual application, when the first switch Q1-1 is turned on, the fifth switch Qn-1 may also be turned on. The four states described in Table 1 are not all states. The first switch Q1-1 and the third switch Q1-3 cannot be simultaneously turned on, the second switch Q1-2 and the fourth switch Q1-4 cannot be simultaneously turned on, the fifth switch Qn-1 and the seventh switch Qn-3 cannot be simultaneously turned on, and the sixth switch Qn-2 and the eighth switch Qn-4 cannot be simultaneously turned on. Other states are acceptable. Table 1 is merely an example and cannot be used as a limitation.
In this embodiment, when the input voltage Vin is connected to both ends of the capacitor module, and the output voltage Vo is the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, a conduction status of each switch is controlled, so that the first capacitor C1 may separately perform energy transmission with the second capacitor and the Nth capacitor Cn by using each resonant circuit, thereby balancing voltages at both ends of capacitors. Each resonant circuit may convert partial power and power conversion efficiency may be high. Further, a voltage gain N:1 is obtained based on a series voltage division principle of N capacitors of the capacitor module. In addition, on the one hand, because there is the converter, during power-on, the conversion circuit in this embodiment can normally implement slow startup. This effectively resolves a problem that a conventional resonant switched capacitor circuit cannot be controlled in a closed-loop manner and is not easy to implement slow startup. On the other hand, in case of overcurrent, the converter may be used to implement detection and protection.

One end of the Nth capacitor Cn is connected to a first end of the sixth switch Qn-2, and the other end of the Nth capacitor Cn is connected to the other end of the first capacitor C1. One end of the (N−1)th capacitor Cn-1 is connected to a first end of the fifth switch Qn-1, and a plurality of capacitors and a plurality of resonant circuits may be included between the first end of the fifth switch Qn-1 and the one end of the (N−1)th capacitor Cn-1.

In this embodiment, when the input voltage Vin is connected to both ends of the capacitor module, and the output voltage Vo is the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, the circuit is a buck circuit, and a conduction status of each switch is controlled, so that the first capacitor C1 may separately perform energy transmission with the (N−1)th capacitor Cn-1 and the (N−1)th resonant capacitor Crn by using each resonant circuit, thereby balancing voltages at both ends of capacitors. Each resonant circuit may convert partial power and power conversion efficiency may be high. Further, a voltage gain N:1 is obtained based on a series voltage division principle of N−1 capacitors of the capacitor module and the Nth resonant capacitor Crn.

The foregoing describes the buck conversion circuit. The following describes a boost conversion circuit.
II. Boost (a Voltage at Both Ends of a First Capacitor is an Input Voltage, and a Voltage at Both Ends of a Capacitor Module is an Output Voltage)
Components and connection relationships between the components in the boost conversion circuit are similar to the components and the connection relationships between the components in the buck conversion circuit. The components and the connection relationships between the components are not described in detail below. For boost and buck, Vin and Vo may be interchanged. The following describes a boost principle.
For ease of understanding, different transformation ratios are separately described below.
1. A ratio of the input voltage to the output voltage is 1:N.
In this embodiment, when the input voltage Vin is connected to both ends of the first capacitor C1, and the output voltage Vo is a voltage at both ends of the capacitors C1 to Cn that are connected in series, the circuit is a boost circuit.
In this embodiment, after the third switch Q1-3 and the fourth switch Q1-4 are turned on, the first capacitor C1 charges the first resonant circuit; after the seventh switch Qn-3 and the eighth switch Qn-4 are turned on, the first capacitor C1 charges the (N−1)th resonant circuit; after the first switch Q1-1 and the second switch Q1-2 are turned on, the first resonant circuit charges the second capacitor C2; and after the fifth switch Qn-1 and the sixth switch Qn-2 are turned on, the (N−1)th resonant circuit charges the Nth capacitor Cn, so that a voltage at both ends of the Nth capacitor Cn is equal to a voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, and a voltage at both ends of the second capacitor C2 is equal to the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1. Further, because the first capacitor C1, the second capacitor C2, and the Nth capacitor Cn are sequentially connected in series, the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1 to the Nth capacitor Cn is N times the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, so that the output voltage Vo is N times the input voltage Vin. That is, a voltage gain is N:1 (Vin:Vo=1:N).

For ease of understanding, the following also uses N=4 as an example for detailed description.
3. A ratio of the input voltage to the output voltage is 1:4.
A principle is similar to the principle of 1:3, and details are not described herein. Similarly, a voltage at both ends of the third capacitor C3 is equal to a voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, and a voltage at both ends of the fourth capacitor C4 is equal to the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1. That is, the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, the voltage at both ends of the second capacitor C2, the voltage at both ends of the third capacitor C3, and the voltage at both ends of the fourth capacitor C4 are equal. Therefore, a voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1 to the fourth capacitor C4 is four times the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1, so that the output voltage Vo is four times the input voltage Vin. That is, a voltage gain is 1:4 (Vin:Vo=1:4).
In the embodiments, energy transfer may be performed between the first capacitor C1 and each resonant circuit, energy transfer is performed between each resonant circuit and another capacitor, and the duty cycle of each switch is approximately 50%, so that the voltage at both ends of the first capacitor C1 is equal to a voltage at both ends of the another capacitor. In this way, a balanced voltage gain is obtained. Further, Vin and Vo are interchanged, so that the boost and buck principles are implemented.
