Abstract
A converter and a circuit device including the converter are disclosed. The converter includes an inductor including a first end and a second end, and a switching circuit connected to the inductor. The switching circuit includes a first switch to control a connection between the first end and a battery connected to the converter, a second switch to control a connection between the second end and a current output end configured to output a current generated through the inductor from the battery, a third switch to control a connection between the second end and a voltage output end configured to output a voltage generated from the battery, and a fourth switch to control a connection between the second end and a voltage input end configured to receive a voltage to charge the battery.
