In the first stage, switch 1 is turned on while switch 2 is turned off. In this setup, the charge flows from node V1 into the capacitor. In the second stage, switch 1 opens while switch 2 is closed. At this point, C1 is connected to node V2 and will either charge or discharge until the final voltage on the capacitor is at V2.
These switching devices are often combined with the key interlock, protection, and control systems to allow for a fully integrated power capacitor bank. Switching devices include circuit breakers (fixed and drawout), vacuum contactors, and capacitor switches. For transient free switching, NEPSI recommends the Southern States CapSwitcher.

What Is a Switched-Capacitor Circuit? A switched-capacitor circuit is a discrete-time circuit that exploits the charge transfer in and out of a capacitor as controlled by switches. The switching activity is generally controlled by well-defined, non-overlapping clocks such that the charge transfer in and out is well defined and deterministic.
The switches used in IC switched capacitor voltage converters may be CMOS or bipolar as shown in Figure 4.9. Standard CMOS processes allow low on-resistance MOSFET switches to be fabricated along with the oscillator and other necessary control circuits. Bipolar processes can also be used, but add cost and increase power dissipation.
Switched capacitor inverters are low cost and compact and are capable of achieving efficiencies greater than 90%. Obviously, the current output is limited by the size of the capacitors and the current carrying capacity of the switches. Typical IC switched capacitor inverters have maximum output currents of about 150mA maximum.
Switched-capacitor (SC) filters are a type of electronic filter that uses capacitors and switches to emulate resistors. By carefully timing the switching of transistors, these filters can achieve precise frequency response characteristics, making them ideal for various applications, from audio and communication systems to data converters.
The control circuit consists of an oscillator and the switch drive signal generators. Most IC switched capacitor inverters and doublers contain all the control circuits as well as the switches and the oscillator. The pump capacitor, C1, and the load capacitor, C2, are external.
Switched Capacitor Converters (SCCs) are a class of electronic circuits that use switches and capacitors to perform analog signal processing functions, such as filtering, amplification, and voltage conversion.
