Abstract
Some embodiments include apparatus and methods for using a direct-current to direct-current (DCDC) converter and a control unit coupled to the DCDC converter. The DCDC converter includes a first node to receive an input signal, a second node to couple to a terminal of an inductor, and a third node to couple to an output node. The DCDC converter includes a driver controlled by a signal. The control unit is arranged to generate control information based on a duty cycle of the signal to control the duty cycle range of the signal.
