POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND MULTIPATH POWER CONVERTER CIRCUIT THEREOF

A power supply system includes: a switching buck-boost converter configured to operate an inductor, so as to convert an input power at a first node to a first output power at a second node, wherein first output voltage of the first output power is higher than, lower than or equal to an input voltage of the input power; a battery coupled to a third node; a first transistor coupled between the first node and the third node; and a second transistor coupled between the second node and the third node. The switching buck-boost converter, the first transistor and the second transistor operate to supply power to a load circuit and/or to charge the battery, wherein the load circuit is coupled to the second node in a removable manner to receive power.
