Abstract
Voltage regulators and methods for regulating voltages are disclosed. A switching circuit with an inductor and a plurality of switches may be used to produce a regulated voltage from an unregulated voltage source. A control circuit may be used to monitor the voltages at the input and output of the voltage regulator, and operate the switches in either a buck, boost, or buck-boost mode depending on the relationship between the voltages at the input and output of the voltage regulator.
