    Abstract: A charger circuit includes an interface connector coupled to a power adapter that provides an input signal having an input voltage, and a buck-boost converter circuit that may be coupled to a battery having a charging voltage. At a given time, the buck-boost converter circuit operates in a mode in a group of modes based on a control signal, where the group of modes may include at least a buck mode and a boost mode. In particular, the charger circuit includes control logic that generates the control signal based on the charging voltage and a charging capability of the power adapter. Thus, if the charging voltage suitably exceeds the input voltage, the buck-boost converter circuit may operate in the boost mode. However, if the charging voltage is approximately less than or equal to the input voltage, the buck-boost converter circuit may operate in the buck mode.

    Abstract: A charging circuit includes an interface connector that may be coupled to a power adapter that provides an input voltage, and a buck-boost charging circuit that receives the input voltage and may be coupled to and may provide an output signal to a battery having a charging voltage. For a given input voltage and a given charging voltage, the buck-boost charging circuit operates in one of a group of modes based on a control signal, where the group of modes comprises: a buck mode, a boost mode and a buck-boost mode. In particular, the charging circuit includes control logic that generates the control signal based on the charging voltage and the input voltage. Thus, the buck-boost charging circuit may operate over a continuous range of input voltages and charging voltages.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide an apparatus that controls a current drawn from an adapter by a computer system. During operation, the apparatus senses the current drawn from the adapter using a first current sensor and a second current sensor, wherein a response time of the first current sensor is faster than a response time of the second current sensor. Then, when the current sensed using the first current sensor exceeds a predetermined high-current threshold, the apparatus limits the current drawn from the adapter to a first predetermined current limit. Additionally, when the current sensed using the second current sensor exceeds a predetermined thermal-limit current, the apparatus limits the current drawn from the adapter to the predetermined thermal-limit current.
