Abstract
A multi-output DC/DC converter ( ), comprising inductive electrical energy storage means (L), switching means (S -S ) and control means ( ). The control means ( ) are arranged for selectively operating the switching means (S -S ) for transferring an amount of electrical energy from the energy storage means (L) to an output (A;B;C;D) of the DC/DC converter ( ) providing an output voltage in accordance with a switching sequence based on comparing, by the control means ( ) of the output voltage of each output (A;B;C;D) with an associated reference voltage. The control means ( ) are arranged for operatively controlling the switching means (S -S ) for each output (A;B;C;D) in accordance with an output individual switching cycle, wherein the switching sequence is comprised of the output individual switching cycles for transferring electrical energy to the outputs (A;B;C;D) of the multi-output DC/DC converter ( ) in a predetermined order of priority.
