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 9):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein transitioning from the discharging phase of the asynchronous mode to the charging phase of the synchronous mode comprises transitioning from the discharging phase of the asynchronous mode to the charging phase of the synchronous mode when the clock signal transitions from a first state to a second state.
