Claim 6:
7. The method as recited by claim 1, wherein:
implementing the first phase of the adaptive current control mode includes:
sensing, at a first node operably coupled to the first switch device, an amount of the current applied to the inductor of the switching power regulator to provide a first indication of the inductor current; and
deactivating the first switch device in response to the first indication of inductor current flow meeting a predefined threshold for the level of maximum current; or
implementing the second phase of the adaptive current control mode includes:
sensing, at a second node operably coupled to the second switch device, an amount of the current flowing through the inductor of the switching power regulator to provide a second indication of the inductor current; and
comparing, when the second switch device is activated, the second indication of the inductor current to the control signal that is based on the output voltage of the switching power regulator.
