Abstract
A method including producing an electronic circuit. The method can include providing a first circuit portion, a second circuit portion, a flying capacitor voltage comparator, an output switching circuit, an electronic circuit first output node, and/or an electronic circuit second output node. The electronic circuit first output node can be electrically coupled to a first gate terminal of a switching converter. The electronic circuit second output node can be electrically coupled to a second gate terminal of the switching converter. The method also can include electrically coupling a voltage sensor output terminal of the flying capacitor voltage comparator to the first circuit second input node of the first circuit portion and the second circuit second input node of the second circuit portion. Other embodiments are disclosed.
