Abstract
A switching power converter is provided with digital control of a constant-power mode. During the constant-power mode, the switching power converter may approximate an analog constant-power mode by incrementing or decrementing the output voltage by discrete voltage steps. At each discrete voltage step, the output current may vary within a range while the output voltage is kept constant. Alternatively, the switching power converter may approximate an analog constant-power mode by incrementing or decrementing the output current by discrete current steps. At each discrete current step, the output voltage may vary within a range while the output current is kept constant.
