Abstract
A method for operating a switched-mode power converter includes providing to a maximum voltage node as a maximum voltage, a version of the higher of a first voltage on a first node and a second voltage on a second node. The method includes generating a first signal indicating whether to operate the switched-mode power converter in a buck mode of operation or a boost mode of operation based on the first voltage and a first voltage domain based on the maximum voltage. The method includes generating a second signal indicating whether to operate the switched-mode power converter in a buck mode of operation or a boost mode of operation based on the first voltage and a second voltage domain of the first voltage. The method includes combining the first signal and the second signal to generate a digital configuration indicator signal.
