Abstract:
A buck-boost switching converter which receives an input voltage and provides an output voltage is presented. The converter contains a first set of switches having a first power switch and a first ground switch, a second set of switches having a second power switch and a second ground switch. A controller is arranged to send control signals to the first and second set of switches. The controller is arranged such that in a buck mode, the first set of switches operates to provide buck regulation while the second power switch is held in a closed state. In a boost mode, the second set of switches operates to provide boost regulation while the first power switch is held in a closed state, and the controller is arranged to selectively operate the buck-boost switching converter in the buck mode or the boost mode based on a length of a time period.

Claim (Index 11):
The buck-boost switching converter of  claim 10 , wherein the demultiplexer provides the control signals to the first set of switches when operating in a first demultiplexer state and provides the control signals to the second set of switches when operating in a second demultiplexer state, wherein the demultiplexer is arranged to selectively operate in the first demultiplexer state or the second demultiplexer state based on the length of the time period throughout the course of which both of the first power switch and the second power switch are in the similar state.
