Abstract
A method includes configuring a hybrid converter to operate in a hybrid mode comprising four operating phases in response to an input voltage of the hybrid converter greater than a first threshold, configuring the hybrid converter to operate in a buck mode comprising two operating phases in response to the input voltage of the hybrid converter less than a second threshold, and configuring the hybrid converter to operate in a charge pump mode comprising two operating phases in response to the input voltage of the hybrid converter less than the first threshold and greater than the second threshold.
