Abstract
A power supply for an electronic device having a plurality of voltage rails including at least one low voltage rail and at least one high voltage rail can include a single inductor multiple output (SIMO) converter. The SIMO converter can include a single inductor; a plurality of switching devices selectively operable as switching converters for producing the plurality of regulated output voltages; and a SIMO power controller including control circuitry that selectively operates the plurality of switching devices responsive at least in part to an input voltage and the plurality of regulated output voltages. The plurality of switching devices can be arranged in a plurality of phases, and the SIMO power controller can include control circuitry for each of the plurality of phases.
