Abstract
In one form, a multi-mode converter includes first, second, third, and fourth transistors having respective control terminals and arranged in a four-switch buck-boost (FSBB) configuration for coupling to an inductor. The multi-mode converter also includes a first driver having an input for receiving a first switching signal and an output, a first charge pump having an output, a second driver having an input for receiving a second switching signal and an output, a second charge pump having an output, and a control circuit. The control circuit alternatively couples an output of the first driver or an output of the first charge pump to the control terminal of the first transistor, and the output of the second driver or the output of the second charge pump to the control terminal of the fourth transistor in response to a mode of operation of the multi-mode power converter.
