SWITCHING REGULATOR CIRCUIT FOR OPERATION AS A SWITCHING DEVICE IN A SWITCHING MODE AND A PASSIVE DEVICE IN A PASSIVE MODE

摘要

A switching regulator circuit is provided for operation as a switching device in a switching mode and as a passive device in a passive mode. A controller is provided for operating the circuit in a switching mode and a passive mode. Additionally, a single transistor is provided for operating as a switching device in the switching mode and for further operating as a passive device in the passive mode.
