Claim Text:
1. A method for regulating a flow of energy from an input of a power converter to an output of the power converter, comprising: receiving a first signal representative of an output voltage of the power converter; receiving a second signal representative of a current of the power converter; determining an output current of the power converter in response to at least one of the first and second signals; switching a power switch of the power converter to regulate the output current of the power converter to a substantially constant output current value for a first range of power converter output voltages; switching the power switch of the power converter to regulate an output power of the power converter to a substantially constant power value for a second range of power converter output voltages; switching the power switch of the power converter to regulate the output voltage of the power converter at substantially a highest output voltage value of the second range of power converter output voltages for a range of power converter output current values; adjusting the first range of power converter output voltages and the second range of power converter output voltages in response to an adjustment signal received at a terminal of a controller of the power converter.
