Abstract: A constant on time converter control circuit and a constant on time converter are provided. The constant on time converter control circuit comprises an error amplifier, a voltage to current converter, and an initial current source. The error amplifier is for receiving a reference voltage signal and a feedback voltage signal and outputting a compensated voltage signal.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to automated generation and management of update estimates relative to application of an update to a computing device. One or more updates to be applied to a computing device are identified. A trained artificial intelligence (AI) model is applied that is adapted to generate an update estimate predicting an amount of time that is required to apply an update to the computing device. An update estimate is generated based on a contextual analysis that evaluates one or more of: parameters associated with the update; device characteristics of the computing device to be updated; a state of current user activity on the computing device; historical predictions relating to prior update estimates for one or more computing devices (e.g., that comprise the computing device); or a combination thereof. A notification of the update estimate is then automatically generated and caused to be rendered.
