Abstract: An electrical system includes: 1) a buck converter; 2) a battery coupled to an input of the buck converter; and 3) a load coupled to an output of the buck converter. The buck converter includes a high-side switch, a low-side switch, and regulation loop circuitry coupled to the high-side switch and the low-side switch. The regulation loop circuitry includes: 1) a main comparator; 2) a bias current source coupled to the main comparator and configured to provide a bias current to the main comparator; and 3) a dynamic biasing circuit coupled to the main comparator and configured to add a supplemental bias current to the bias current in 100% mode of the buck converter. The supplemental bias current varies depending on an input voltage (VIN) and an output voltage (VOUT) of the buck converter.

Abstract: In some examples, an apparatus includes a driver having a driver output, a capacitor having a first plate and a second plate, the first plate coupled to the driver output, and a transistor having a transistor gate, a transistor source, and a transistor drain. The apparatus also includes a first switch coupled between the second plate and the transistor gate, a second switch coupled between the second plate and the transistor drain, and a third switch coupled between the transistor gate and the transistor drain.
