Abstract:
The present embodiments relate generally to power controllers, and more particularly to synthetic current hysteretic control of a buck-boost DC-DC controller. In one or more embodiments, an asynchronous controller of a buck-boost converter implements a state diagram for controlling PFM-PWM and Buck-Boost transitions with minimal circuitry and power consumption.

Claim (Index 5):
The buck-boost controller of  claim 3 , further comprising an audio band suppression (ABS) timer, and wherein the state machine is further operative to transition out of either the buck tristate state or the boost tristate state based on an output of the ABS timer.
