Multi-output Switching Regulator with Switchable Capacitor Nodes

The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the capacitor connections switchable rather than fixed. Switches are introduced to allow the capacitors to be dynamically reconfigured between different nodes (input node, output nodes, or ground) based on the desired output voltage configuration. This enables the system to adapt to different voltage requirements while maintaining a manageable circuit structure through controlled switching.

The patent implements universality by designing the capacitor connection system to serve multiple functions. The same capacitors can be connected to different nodes depending on the switching state, allowing them to function in various roles: as output capacitors, as input capacitors, or as ground references. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate capacitors for different voltage configurations and lowers overall component specification requirements.

By enabling dynamic reconfiguration of capacitor connections, the system can optimize capacitor utilization based on operating conditions. The switches allow capacitors to be connected to the most appropriate nodes for each output voltage requirement, ensuring stable output voltages are achieved through optimal connection rather than requiring over-specified capacitors. This reduces the need for expensive high-specification capacitors while maintaining reliability.

The patent changes the connection parameters (which nodes the capacitors are connected to) rather than changing the capacitor specifications themselves. By adjusting the switching states to connect capacitors to different nodes (input, output, or ground), the system achieves the desired output voltage stability through parameter adjustment rather than requiring capacitors with higher voltage ratings or stricter tolerance specifications, thereby reducing cost.

The patent uses dynamic switching to provide multiple output voltage capabilities. Instead of requiring separate fixed capacitor connections for each voltage level, the system uses switches to dynamically reconfigure the same capacitors into different connection patterns. This allows multiple output voltages to be achieved through controlled switching of a single capacitor network, reducing overall device complexity compared to having separate capacitor sets for each voltage level.

The capacitor connection system is designed with multi-functionality to serve multiple output voltage requirements. The same capacitors can be switched to connect to different nodes depending on which output voltage is needed, making the capacitor network universal rather than dedicated to a single function. This reduces the total number of capacitors required and simplifies the overall device structure while maintaining the ability to provide multiple output voltages.
