1. A high efficiency power converter comprising:
- a boost converter for converting an input voltage to a first voltage on a first output;
a buck converter concurrently operable with the boost converter to convert the input voltage to a second voltage on a second output, the second voltage being different in value from the first voltage;
a linear regulator coupled between the first and second outputs for converting the first voltage to a third voltage on the second output when the second voltage is lower than a first threshold; and
a voltage detector for detecting the input voltage for preventing a reverse current flowing from the second output to the buck converter when the input voltage is lower than a second threshold.
