How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This work overviews the existing balanced switching techniques for single-output Switched Capacitor Converter (SOSCC). A novel balanced switching scheme is proposed for multiphase dual- (multi-) output SCC (MO-SCC) by equalizing the charge transferred in each topological phase and the total charge transferred to each output. The advantages of balanced switching are discussed and supported with simulation results. It is found that the output voltage ripple is decreased by 22.2% and the average and minimum output voltage parameters are increased by 0.5-3% for the dual-output SCC. The improvements are explained with theoretical analyses such as the calculations of charge flow, equivalent resistance, and cross-regulation.
