Claim 10:
11. A method for operating a direct current (DC) to DC (DC-DC) converter, the method comprising:
determining, by the DC-DC converter, a setpoint of the DC-DC converter;
determining, by the DC-DC converter, a first duty cycle of the DC-DC converter; and
determining, by the DC-DC converter, that the first duty cycle is greater than the setpoint, and based thereon,
generating, by the DC-DC converter, a first signal pulse having a first pulse width in accordance with an input voltage and an output voltage of the DC-DC converter, the first signal pulse corresponding to a voltage level of the output voltage of the DC-DC converter;
powering down, by the DC-DC converter, a digital delay line (DDL) used to introduce delays to the first pulse width of the first signal pulse; and
outputting, by the DC-DC converter, the first signal pulse.
