1. An integrated circuit (IC) for controlling a switched-capacitor power converter for converting voltage between first and second nodes to voltage between third and fourth nodes for use with a first plurality of switches, a second plurality of switches, a plurality of capacitors, and a plurality of resonance modules, comprising:
a controller configured to control the first plurality of switches to be closed and the second plurality of switches to be open to electrically connect the first node to the third node through a first one of the plurality of capacitors in series with a first one of the plurality of resonance modules,
wherein each of the plurality of resonance modules comprises a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and an inductor connected to each other.
