A single sleep mode controller which ensures that there is at least a
corresponding minimum voltage level across capacitors when the
corresponding regulators are turned off. In an embodiment, the sleep mode
controller uses a single comparator which compares the voltages across
capacitors in a time division multiplexed (TDM) manner, and initiates the
charging operation for the capacitor if the voltage level falls below a
corresponding minimum voltage level. The sleep mode controller continues
the charging operation until the voltage level exceeds a corresponding
upper threshold value. Due to the use of the single controller, power
and/or space savings may be attained.
