A single inductor multiple output (SIMO) DC-DC convertor is provided. The SIMO DC-DC convertor is configured to establish a first DC voltage at a first node and establish a second DC voltage at a second node. A first switch of the SIMO DC-DC convertor is activated when a voltage at the first node is below the first DC voltage. A second switch of the SIMO DC-DC convertor is activated when a voltage at the second node is below the second DC voltage. The first switch is deactivated when the voltage at the first node is not below the first DC voltage. The second switch is deactivated when the voltage at the second node is not below the second DC voltage. The first switch and the second switch, and other switches in the SIMO DC-DC converter, are activated in any order and independently of one another to establish desired node voltages.
A single inductor multiple output (SIMO) DC-DC convertor configured to establish a first DC voltage at a first node and a second DC voltage at a second node, comprising:
A method for soft starting a single inductor multiple output (SIMO) DC-DC convertor, the SIMO DC-DC convertor comprising an inductor, a first switch connected to a first node and a second switch connected to a second node, the SIMO DC-DC convertor configured to establish a first DC voltage at the first node and to establish a second DC voltage at the second node, the method comprising:
