Abstract:
The disclosed technology can be used to convert direct-current voltage and current from an input to a different or the same voltage and current at an output. One example direct-current to direct-current (DC-DC) power converter includes a first switch connected between a source voltage and a first side of an inductor, a second switch connected between the first side of the inductor and a ground, a third switch connected between a second side of the inductor and the ground, and a fourth switch connected between the second side of the inductor and a capacitor. The power converter may further include a comparator configured to compare an output voltage at the capacitor to a threshold voltage and based on the result of the comparison selectively activate or deactivate the first, second, third, and fourth switches in a power cycle.

Claim (Index 20):
The DC-DC power converter integrated circuit of  claim 19 , further including one or more additional switches, each of the additional switches configured to connect the second side of the inductor to a corresponding additional capacitor, wherein:\n each additional capacitor produces an additional output of the DC-DC power converter integrated circuit, and the comparator is configured to receive and compare each of the additional outputs to a corresponding threshold voltage, and to cause the first, the second, the third, the fourth and at least one of the additional switches to selectively activate or deactivate based on results of the comparisons.
