    Abstract: The disclosure provides a circuit for impedance measurement. The circuit includes an excitation source that generates an excitation signal. A switched resistor network is coupled to the excitation source, and generates an output signal in response to the excitation signal. A sense circuit is coupled to the switched resistor network, and generates a sense signal in response to the output signal. A comparator is coupled to the sense circuit, and generates a clock signal in response to the sense signal. A mixer is coupled to the sense circuit, and multiplies the sense signal and the clock signal to generate a rectified signal. A low pass filter is coupled to the mixer and filters the rectified signal to generate an averaged signal. A processor is coupled to the low pass filter and measures a body impedance from the averaged signal.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, method of controlling an illumination device by an output signal of a DC-DC converter is disclosed. The output signal is controlled by a PWM signal. The method includes receiving a feedback signal corresponding to variation in the output signal with respect to a pre-determined output signal, and determining a target duty cycle of the PWM signal based on the feedback signal. The PWM signal of the target duty cycle is capable of enabling the DC-DC converter to generate the pre-determined output signal. The method includes providing the PWM signal of an effective duty cycle equal to the target duty cycle over N switching pulses of the PWM signal to the DC-DC converter. The method provides the PWM signal by providing M switching pulses of a first PWM signal of a first duty cycle, and N−M switching pulses of a second PWM signal of a second duty cycle.
