Power supply integrated circuit with multiple independent outputs
First Claim
1. An integrated circuit comprising:
- a first module that outputs a first signal corresponding to electrical power that is characterized by a first set of power characteristics, where the first set of power characteristics comprises a first voltage level; and
a second module that outputs a second signal corresponding to electrical power that is characterized by a second set of power characteristics, where the second set of power characteristics comprises a second voltage level;
wherein the second voltage level is substantially similar to the first voltage level, and a portion of the first set of power characteristics is substantially different than a corresponding portion of the second set of power characteristics.

Abstract
A system and method for providing, in an integrated power supply circuit, signals corresponding to multiple power supply outputs. Various aspects of the present invention may comprise an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may comprise a first module that outputs a first signal corresponding to electrical power that is characterized by a first set of power characteristics. The first set of power characteristics may, for example, comprise a first voltage level. The integrated circuit may also comprise a second module that outputs a second signal corresponding to electrical power that is characterized by a second set of power characteristics. The second set of power characteristics may, for example, comprise a second voltage level. The second voltage level may, for example, be substantially similar to the first voltage level, and the first set of power characteristics may, for example, be substantially different than the second set of power characteristics.
