- **The input to the buck boost converter is 3V to 4.3V which is coming from a battery.
- The microcontroller is working at 3.3V. I doubt the BJT option will work always or not.**
- Any other circuit suggestions.
- I am using a BJT switch to control the PS/SYNC pin.When micro-controller output is high the BJT will turn on and PS/SYNC will be connected to GND and TPS63000 will go to low power mode.

- My circuit diagram is given below.May I know your thoughts.
