Abstract

See full text

A hearing aid includes: a power source; and a switched capacitor DC-DC converter electrically connected to the power source and having an input part configured for receiving charge from the power source at an input voltage of an input voltage range; an output part having multiple output ports, the output part being configured for supplying charge to the multiple output ports for providing multiple predefined output voltages; at least one flying capacitor configured for redistributing charge from the power source to the multiple output ports and/or in between the output ports; and a switching circuitry having a plurality of switches configured for electrically switching the switched capacitor DC-DC converter based on a switching scheme so as to provide the multiple predefined output voltages based on the input voltage.
