11. A method for voltage regulation comprising:
determining, by a controller, a total current value to be provided to an output load by a converter, the converter comprising a switched capacitor circuit and one or more bypass transistor switches;
determining, by a controller, a first current value to be provided by the switched capacitor circuit of the converter, wherein the first current value to be provided by the switched capacitor circuit is less than a maximum current value;
determining, by a controller, a second current value to be provided by the one or more bypass transistor switches of the converter, wherein the second current value is a difference of the total current value and the first current value;
providing a current having the first current value to the output load from the switched capacitor circuit; and
providing a current having the second current value to the output load from the one or more bypass transistor switches.
