Abstract:
A reconfigurable power converter is provided that includes a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller. The PWM controller is configured to switch between a first modulation scheme and a second modulation scheme when a current-level property crosses a transition threshold.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for adaptively controlling a reconfigurable power converter comprising an inductor leg and a transformer leg, the method comprising:\n implementing a first modulation scheme by providing a plurality of control signals as a plurality of gating signals for the inductor leg and the transformer leg in accordance with the first modulation scheme; sensing a current-level property; when the current-level property crosses a first transition threshold, transitioning from the first modulation scheme to a second modulation scheme by reversing the control signals provided as the gating signals for the inductor leg and the transformer leg in accordance with the second modulation scheme; and when the current-level property crosses a second transition threshold, transitioning from the second modulation scheme back to the first modulation scheme by again reversing the control signals provided as the gating signals for the inductor leg and the transformer leg in accordance with the first modulation scheme.
