1. A voltage converter comprising
multiple buses comprising:
a first bus to receive a first voltage;
a second bus to provide a second voltage;
one or more third buses;
a first converter core comprising:
a capacitor comprising a first terminal; and
a first hierarchical switch network (HSN) coupled to the first terminal, the first HSN to receive a first one or more control signals, and, based on the first one or more control signals, to selectively provide any of first conductive paths each between the first terminal and a different respective bus of the multiple buses; and
