1. A regulator circuit, comprising:

  • a first switch configured to controllably connect a first voltage to an inductor;

    a second switch configured to controllably connect a second voltage to the inductor;

    a switch control circuit configured to control the first and second switches using a timer circuit;

    wherein the switch control circuit is configured to turn off the first switch and to turn on the second switch for a duration proportional to a difference between the first voltage and a third voltage, divided by the first voltage;

    wherein the switch control circuit is configured to turn on the first switch and to turn off the second switch for a duration proportional to the third voltage divided by the first voltage;

    wherein one of the first or third voltages corresponds to a desired output voltage; and

    wherein the second voltage is less than the first and third voltages.
