Power converter (105), comprising: a switching circuit (200) for selectively providing an input
voltage (130) to a switching node (275) at a
switching frequency based on a modulated
control signal (135) to establish a
charge cycle and a
discharge cycle to produce a low supply
voltage (145) having a magnitude of the low supply
voltage (145) at a first output node (260) of the power converter (105), the switching circuit (200) comprising a first
capacitor (222) coupled between the first output node (260) of the power converter (105) and a ground node (220); a compensation circuit (224) for the input voltage (130) coupled to the switching node (275), wherein the switching circuit (200) further comprises a first
