18. A method of providing power, the method comprising:
providing a circuit to couple between a power supply and a switching circuit, the circuit comprising at least two switches whose duty cycle is configured to control a voltage across a capacitor of the circuit and thereby regulate a DC voltage provided at an output of the switching circuit;
accessing, for the switching circuit, a target boost voltage; and
setting a duty cycle of the at least two switches to achieve the target boost voltage at the output of the switching circuit.
