Abstract
In a general aspect, a control circuit for a power converter can include an option selector circuit that is coupled with a detection pin. The option selector can, based on a voltage applied to the detection pin being greater than or less than a threshold voltage, respectively generate a first enable signal or generate a second enable signal. The control circuit can also include a first mode controller coupled with the option selector and the detection pin. The first mode controller can be configured to, in response to receiving the first enable signal, operate the power converter in a first mode of operation. The control circuit can further include a second mode controller coupled with the option selector and the detection pin. The second mode controller can being configured to, in response to receiving the second enable signal, operate the power converter in a second mode of operation.
