Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 8:
9. The system of claim 1, further comprising:
a second control loop comprising:
an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the voltage converter circuit and configured to:
obtain a measurement of the output voltage from the second inductor end; and
determine a value representing the output voltage based on the measurement;

an adder coupled to the ADC and configured to:
receive, from the ADC, the value representing the output voltage;
receive a voltage target value representing a target output voltage;

determine an error value based on a difference between the value representing the output voltage and the voltage target value;
a comparator coupled to the adder and configured to:
compare the error value to a zero value; and
output a comparison result based on the comparison of the error value to the zero value; and

an AND gate coupled to the comparator and the pulse generator and configured to:
receive the comparison result from the comparator;
receive a second signal from the pulse generator; and
provide a trigger signal to the pulse generator to selectively initiate a DCM switching cycle based on the comparison result and the second signal.
