Original Abstract Submitted

An n-level flying capacitor multi-level buck converter, for converting a DC input voltage into a DC output voltage provided at a load. The n-level flying capacitor multi-level buck converter is configured to: operate a first and second pairs of switching elements in a sequence to selectively apply a portion of the input voltage across the output filter; and operate the first and second pairs of switching elements such that each switching element turns on when a voltage across the switching element is zero.
