Abstract
A single-inductor multi-output converter that includes a charge pump unit, a current supply unit, a first output unit, and a second output unit. The charge pump unit may be positioned between a first node and a second node, and may store electric charges flowing into the first node and the second node through a first capacitor, or may supply electric charges to the second node. In addition, the current supply unit may: include an inductor positioned between an input node and the first node; build up current in the inductor in the first time period; and transfer the current of the inductor to the charge pump unit in the second time period.
