The total required flying capacitor <strong>en</strong>ergy in MC based converters and M2LC converters is<br />
now possible based on (26) and (29), using only the constants K 2_E_cap and K M2LC without<br />
consi<strong>de</strong>ring the converter voltage and curr<strong>en</strong>t rating, nor the maximum tolerable voltage excursion<br />
of the flying capacitors.<br />

Figure 42, Normalized total flying capacitor <strong>en</strong>ergy at low switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy (f base = 250 Hz) and<br />
average <strong>de</strong>vice switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy limitation<br />
At a low <strong>de</strong>vice average switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy of 250 Hz, the transition point where the M2LC<br />
becomes more favorable is very low at N=8. Note that the appar<strong>en</strong>t output switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy at<br />
this point is 2 kHz, which may already be suffici<strong>en</strong>t for many applications.<br />
At an intermediate <strong>de</strong>vice switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy of 1 kHz, the transition point where the M2LC<br />
becomes more favorable is at N=22. Note that the appar<strong>en</strong>t output switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy at this<br />
point is 22 kHz, which is already very high consi<strong>de</strong>ring the high number of levels. This leads to low<br />
filtering requirem<strong>en</strong>ts at the output.
