Patent attributes
Aspects of the disclosure provide for a circuit. In some examples, the circuit includes a timing circuit and a state machine circuit. The timing circuit determines a relationship between a duty cycle of a power converter and a threshold value. The state machine circuit is coupled to the timing circuit and includes a plurality of states including a buck state, a boost state, and a buck-boost state. The state machine circuit transitions among the plurality of states according to time domain control and voltage domain control, based at least partially on the determined relationship between the duty cycle and the threshold value, transitions among the states according to the time domain control when the time domain control indicates an exit from the buck-boost state, and transitions among the states according to the voltage domain control when the voltage domain control indicates the exit from a buck-boost state.
