Abstract:
A method includes switching a switching circuit of the switched-mode power supply in a synchronous mode by turning on and off switches of the switching circuit in synchrony with a clock signal, wherein the switching circuit is coupled to an inductive element, and wherein the synchronous mode comprises a charging phase and a discharging phase; switching the switching circuit in an asynchronous mode by turning on and off switches of the switching circuit without being synchronized with the clock signal, wherein the asynchronous mode comprises a charging phase and a discharging phase; charging the inductive element during the charging phase of the synchronous mode; discharging the inductive element during the discharging phase of the synchronous mode; charging the inductive element during the charging phase of the asynchronous mode; and discharging the inductive element during the discharging phase of the asynchronous mode.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein the transient event further comprises a decrease of an output voltage of the switched-mode power supply with respect to the reference voltage, and wherein transitioning from the asynchronous mode to the synchronous mode is caused by the decrease of the output voltage with respect to the reference voltage, the method further comprising detecting the decrease of the output voltage by comparing the error signal with a first threshold, wherein a different between the first threshold and the reference voltage is substantially equal to a different between the second threshold and the reference voltage.
