Abstract: A direct-current (DC)-DC converter includes a converting circuit including an inductor element. The converting circuit is configured to generate an output voltage from an input voltage based on a switching operation. An inductor current emulator is configured to adjust at least one parameter for changing a current peak value of the inductor element in response to a change in a level of the input voltage and is configured to generate an internal voltage based on the at least one parameter, which is adjusted. The inductor current emulator is configured to generate a control signal for controlling the switching operation such that current of the inductor element has a pattern corresponding to a pattern of the internal voltage.

Abstract: A power manager circuit is provided. The power manager circuit includes a bandgap reference circuit, first and second monitoring circuits, and a reference buffer. The bandgap reference circuit generates a first voltage, based on an external voltage that is external to the power manager circuit. The first monitoring circuit determines a logical value of a first alarm signal, based on whether a first voltage level of the first voltage is within a first range. The reference buffer generates a second voltage, based on the first voltage. The second monitoring circuit determines a logical value of a second alarm signal, based on whether a second voltage level of the second voltage is within a second range.
