A switching power stage for producing an output voltage to a load may include a configurable switched mode power converter and a controller. The power converter may include a power inductor, a plurality of switches arranged to sequentially operate in a plurality of switch configurations, and an output for producing the output voltage, the output comprising a first output terminal and a second output terminal. The controller may be configured to, for at least one range of magnitudes of the output voltage, control the plurality of switches to operate in at least three switching phases per switching cycle of the power converter in order to generate the output voltage, wherein switching cycles of the power converter are substantially approximately equal in period and control the plurality of switches to apply for each of the at least three switching phases a respective switch configuration of the plurality of switch configurations.
