Abstract
One or more embodiments relate to a reference voltage control circuit for a buck-boost converter. According to certain aspects, embodiments can increase or decrease the reference voltage for an error amplifier for controlling a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal when there is a change in the mode of operation. In these and other embodiments, the reference voltage control circuit is configured to modify the reference voltage by increasing or decreasing the reference voltage when there is a change in the mode of operation, so as to reduce overshoot or undershoot disturbances in the regulated output voltage during such transitions.
