1. A circuit, comprising:
an inductor having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to an input voltage;
a first switch having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the second side of the inductor;
a second switch having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the input voltage;
a first capacitor having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the second side of the second switch;
a third switch having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the second side of the first switch;
a fourth switch having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the second side of the third switch;
a fifth switch having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the second side of the first capacitor and to the second side of the fourth switch, and wherein the second side is coupled to a voltage source; and
a second capacitor having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side is connected to the first side of the fourth switch, and wherein the second side is connected to the second side of the fifth switch.
