Abstract
Hybrid control of switching power converters. One example embodiment is a method including: operating the switching power converter such that a charge control switch has a conduction time in each switching cycle; and making adjustments to the conduction time, the adjustments dominated by voltage-mode control when the switching power supply is in a first operational state, and the adjustments dominated by current-mode control when the switching power supply is in a second operational state distinct from the first operational state.
