Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for controlling switching regulator switching operations. The techniques include generating, using an inductor, a plurality of output voltage signals from an input voltage by controlling one or more switches that vary charging operations of the inductor; generating a feedback control signal based on whether the plurality of output voltage signals are within a range of target values corresponding to the plurality of output voltage signals; selecting a second output voltage signal of the plurality of output voltage signals when the feedback control signal indicates that a first output voltage signal exceeds the range of a first target value of the target values that corresponds to the first output voltage signal; and controlling the one or more switches of the switching regulator based on a difference between the selected second output voltage signal and a second target value.
