    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for harvesting ringing energy. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a bootstrap circuit. The bootstrap circuit includes a bootstrap capacitor and a bootstrap switch. The bootstrap switch includes a first terminal configured to accept an input voltage. The bootstrap switch also includes a second terminal coupled to the bootstrap capacitor. The bootstrap switch additionally includes a body diode comprising an anode coupled to the first terminal and a cathode coupled to the second terminal. The bootstrap switch is configured to be in an open state to charge the bootstrap capacitor via the body diode. The bootstrap switch is also configured to provide a voltage at the second terminal of the bootstrap switch. The voltage is greater than an average of the input voltage.

    Abstract: A duty cycle estimation circuit includes a latch circuit that receives a clock signal for a voltage regulator. The latch circuit outputs a duty cycle estimate. The duty cycle estimation circuit also includes a low pass filter coupled to an output of the latch circuit to receive the duty cycle estimate. The duty cycle estimation circuit further includes a comparator that receives, as input, an output of the low pass filter and a voltage regulator output. The comparator feeds back a feedback signal to the latch circuit.

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes a voltage-controlled delay generator (136-1). The apparatus includes voltage-controlled timing circuitry (402), duty cycle detection circuitry (404), and output circuitry (406). The voltage-controlled timing circuitry is configured to receive a control voltage (216). The voltage-controlled timing circuitry includes a current source (410), a control transistor (412), and a capacitor (414) that are configured to produce a voltage indicator (526) based on the control voltage. The duty cycle detection circuitry is coupled to the voltage-controlled timing circuitry. The duty cycle detection circuitry is configured to detect the voltage indicator and provide a duty cycle indicator (528) based on the voltage indicator. The output circuitry is coupled to the duty cycle detection circuitry and is configured to generate a duty signal (208) based on the duty cycle indicator.
