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 16):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the asynchronous mode further comprises an idle phase, and wherein the switching circuit is not switching during the idle phase of the asynchronous mode.
