Abstract
A method of managing power and a power management circuit are presented. The power management circuit includes a three terminals switching converter coupled to a controller. The switching converter has a single inductor and two sets of switches. The first set of switches is coupled to an input terminal. The second set of switches is coupled to a battery terminal. The single inductor is provided between a first switching node and a second switching node. A controller is configured to generate a first error signal, and a second error signal and to provide the inductor current to the second terminal when the second error signal is greater than the first error signal or to the third terminal when the second error signal is less than the first error signal.
