Abstract
To prevent cross-conduction when switching switches in switching circuitry for voltage regulation, a dead time may be maintained between turning off a switch and turning on a switch. The dead time may be determined based on a switching transition voltage and a voltage of the switching circuitry and may be implemented using a timer.
