An electronic system comprising a voltage-to-current converter and a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) circuit is disclosed. The voltage-to-current converter is configured to receive one of a control voltage, a supply voltage, a scaled-down version of the control voltage, and a scaled-down version of the supply voltage, and generate a set of currents. The PTAT circuit is coupled with the voltage-to-current converter such that each current of the set of currents is one of sourced to the PTAT circuit and sank from the PTAT circuit. Further, the PTAT circuit is configured to receive at least one of the supply voltage and the control voltage, and generate a set of reference voltages. The control voltage is generated based on the set of reference voltages and the supply voltage.

Utilization of voltage-controlled currents in electronic systems

A DC-DC converter operates in a burst mode having at least one charge cycle with a charging phase followed by a discharging phase. A charging phase is terminated when an inductor current flowing through an inductance connected to the DC-DC converter reaches a compensated peak-current threshold, wherein the compensated peak-current threshold compensates for charging-phase loop delay. A discharging phase is terminated when the inductor current reaches a compensated valley-current threshold, wherein the compensated valley-current threshold compensates for discharging-phase loop delay.
