The invention discloses a cascading type switched capacitor type AC-AC converter for achieving any composite number transformation ratio. The cascading type switched capacitor type AC-AC converter is formed by cascading a plurality of basic unit circuits in sequence, each basic unit circuit is composed of a capacitor and a plurality of power switch sets sequentially connected in series, each power switch set comprises two power switch tubes with sources connected in series, capacitors are in parallel connection to the two ends of a part formed by connecting any two adjacent power switch sets in series, and a driving circuit is connected with grids of the power switch tubes. The cascading mode is characterized in that the two ends of the part formed by connecting all power switch sets in the next basic unit circuit are connected to the two ends of any capacitor in the last basic unit circuit in parallel. According to the cascading type switched capacitor type AC-AC converter, the cascading mode is adopted for achieving voltage output of different gears with any composite number transformation ratio, and the cascading type switched capacitor type AC-AC converter can be applied to design of other fixed gear speed regulating; in addition, only the capacitors serve as energy storage elements, so that the size of the converter is reduced, the equivalent internal resistance is small, changes are basically avoided along with increase of the basic unit circuits, and the power density is high.
