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 4):
The buck-boost controller of  claim 2 , further comprising an auto-bypass timer and wherein the state diagram further includes a buck bypass state and a boost bypass state, and wherein the state machine is operative to transition the buck-boost controller between the buck mode and the boost mode of operation when the state machine is in either the buck bypass state or the boost bypass state and based on an output of the auto-bypass timer.
