1. An implantable medical device having electronic circuitry operable to perform a therapeutic and/or monitoring function, comprising:

  • a power source for supplying an input voltage;

    a capacitor arrangement having a plurality of capacitors dynamically configurable in at least a first mode and a second mode to simultaneously generate multiple output voltages in each of the first and second modes based on the input voltage, wherein each of the first and second modes includes a plurality of stacked configurations;

    a switch array having a plurality of switches coupled to the plurality of capacitors and operable in a number of different states to dynamically configure the plurality of capacitors in the plurality of stacked configurations; and

    a switch controller operable to issue a control signal to the switch array to control the coupling of the plurality of capacitors in one of the plurality of stacked configurations within a selected one of the at least first and second modes,wherein each value of the multiple output voltages corresponds to a supply ratio of the input voltage defined by the capacitor arrangement, and the value of at least one of the multiple output voltages is different from the values of the other output voltages for each of the first and second modes.
