A boost regulator that selectively operates in an asynchronous mode, a synchronous mode, or an adaptive mode. In the adaptive mode, the boost mode regulator controls a high side switch according to an adaptive dead time. Adaptive mode allows the boost regulator to operate more efficiently than in asynchronous mode. 1. A boost regulator , comprising:a low side switch coupled to a switching node;a high side switch coupled to the switching node and to an output node; anda boost mode regulator that controls the low side switch and the high side switch to selectively operate in one of an asynchronous mode, a synchronous mode, and an adaptive mode.2. The boost regulator of claim 1 , wherein the boost mode regulator switches the low side switch according to a duty cycle claim 1 , wherein the duty cycle is adjustable claim 1 , and wherein the boost mode regulator increases the duty cycle to increase an output voltage at the output node.3. The boost regulator of claim 1 , wherein in the synchronous mode claim 1 , the boost mode regulator controls the low side switch and the high side switch to operate such that the high side switch conducts when the low side switch does not conduct claim 1 , and the high side switch does not conduct when the low side switch conducts.4. The boost regulator of claim 1 , wherein in the asynchronous mode claim 1 , the boost mode regulator controls the high side switch to not conduct claim 1 , and the boost mode regulator switches the low side switch according to a duty cycle.5. The boost regulator of claim 1 , wherein the boost regulator has an input voltage and an output voltage claim 1 ,wherein in the adaptive mode, the boost mode regulator controls the high side switch according to an adaptive dead time, wherein the adaptive dead time changes as a voltage difference between the input voltage and the output voltage changes,wherein in the adaptive mode, when the low side switch switches from conducting to not conducting, the boost mode ...
