Claim 13:
14. An apparatus, comprising:
a load circuit coupled to a regulated power supply node; and
a power converter circuit configured to:
generate, using a first regulation mode, a particular voltage level on the regulated power supply node;
monitor a voltage level of the regulated power supply node;
generate an event signal in response to a detection of a regulation event;
change, using the event signal, an operating mode from the first regulation mode to a second regulation mode;
generate a reset signal in response to a detection of an end condition for the second regulation mode; and
change, using the reset signal, the operating mode from the second regulation mode to the first regulation mode;
wherein one of the first and second regulation modes includes a valley-current regulation mode, and wherein another one of the first and second regulation modes includes a Peak-current regulation mode.
