Abstract
A method of DC-DC power conversion includes converting a DC link voltage to a DC output voltage for a load that is lower than the DC link voltage using a buck converter. The method includes controlling the buck converter in a normal switching mode in response to the DC link voltage, the DC output voltage, and the current of the load being within respective predetermined thresholds. The method includes controlling the buck converter in a light load switching mode in response the DC link voltage, the DC output voltage, and/or the current of the load being at or beyond the respective predetermined thresholds.
