1. A system comprising:
a switched-capacitor converter to generate an output voltage to power a load;
a monitor operable to monitor operation of the switched-capacitor converter and determine an output impedance of the switched-capacitor converter based on the monitored operation; and
a controller operable to: i) produce control signals, the control signals controlling switching operation of the switched-capacitor converter to generate the output voltage, and ii) adjust a frequency of the control signals as a function of the determined output impedance;
wherein a first setting of the frequency of the adjusted control signals corresponds to a first output impedance of the switched-capacitor converter, the first output impedance being a minimum output impedance; and
wherein a second frequency of the adjusted control signals corresponds to a second output impedance of the switched-capacitor converter, the second frequency being greater than the first frequency, the second output impedance being greater than the first output impedance.
