Techniques for controlling a single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) switched-mode power supply (SMPS)

Methods and apparatus for operating a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). One example method generally includes comparing a signal representative of an amount of current across an inductive element of the SMPS with at least three thresholds, selecting a configuration of the SMPS based on the comparis...
