    Abstract: In an embodiment, an apparatus is disclosed that includes a plurality of resistors arranged as a reverse bridge and configured to convert an input voltage to a scaled output voltage. The scaled output voltage is scaled to a target format based at least in part on a range of the input voltage and a fixed value of the plurality of resistors. The input voltage is generated based at least in part on at least one signal generated by a sensor based at least in part on a measurement of a property of a measurement target.

    Abstract: One or more embodiments relate to a regulation loop control circuit for regulation of a parameter such as an input voltage or output voltage for a buck-boost converter. In these and other embodiments, the regulation loop control circuit is configured to select between an input voltage loop for regulation of the input voltage or an output voltage loop for regulation of the output voltage in response to an input voltage error, an output voltage error, and a threshold detector to protect the converter without sacrificing output voltage regulation and transient response.

    Abstract: One or more embodiments relate to a current limit mode control circuit for a buck-boost converter which can provide a stable switching of the converter by operating the converter in a current limit mode during an overcurrent condition, performing fewer state transitions while in the current limit mode, and/or by clamping (reducing to a lower value) the output of an error amplifier in the current limit mode for controlling a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that drives the switching transistors.
