Abstract
Apparatuses and methods of operating a flexible and optimized power management unit (PMU) for multiple power supply scenarios are described. One integrated circuit includes a first terminal to couple to an unregulated power supply, a second terminal to couple to a regulated power supply, a first regulator, and a second regulator. The first regulator outputs a first supply voltage in a first configuration, and the second regulator outputs a second supply voltage in a second configuration. The first and second regulators do not operate concurrently.
