Ring type switched-capacitor transformer and its applications

Builds on a previously proposed ring type switched-capacitor (SC) transformer. This SC transformer consists of capacitors making a ring connected by switches. Because of the symmetrical structure, the ring type SC transformer has possibilities of various applications. In this paper, we describe some applications of it, especially an AC-DC converter and sawtooth-wave generators.
