Figure 1: Ground-referenced current sensing in 4-switch buck-boost converters
The 4-switch buck-boost converter is popular and well-known for generating a regulated output voltage above, below, or equal to the input voltage. It also disconnects the input/output (I/O) during extreme fault conditions, such as the input short circuit or the output short circuit conditions. Together with over
