Abstract
A multi-mode power converter and associated method for configuring and controlling a multi-mode power converter. The multi-mode power converter may have a boost operation mode and a buck operation mode. A first transistor is coupled between a switching terminal and a ground, and a second transistor and a third transistor are coupled in series between the switching terminal and an output port of the multi-mode power converter. In the buck mode, an on-resistance of the second transistor is regulated to ensure the multi-mode power converter to operate normally in the buck operation mode.
