Abstract:
A switching converter includes a power stage that receives an input voltage for converting it into an output voltage and provides a load current to a load operably coupled to the power stage. The power stage includes a switch providing a switching voltage and a controller comprising an integrator and a comparator with hysteresis and configured to regulate the output voltage to a level proportional to a reference voltage by controlling the switching voltage.

Claim (Index 5):
An apparatus for controlling a switching power supply converting a source voltage into a supply output voltage, wherein said supply output voltage is indicative of a reference voltage, wherein said power supply comprises a switch providing a switching voltage controlled by a control signal, said switching power supply further comprising a digital signal processing apparatus performing numerical functions including:\n a) a numerical integrator function operable to receive an integrator input and to produce an integrator output, wherein said integrator output is proportional to a numerical antiderivative of said integrator input; b) a digital lowpass filter operable to receive a filter input and to produce a filter output; c) a numerical Schmitt trigger characterized by a hysteresis gap and a reference level, and operable to receive a Schmitt trigger input and to produce said control signal; and wherein said integrator input comprises a first integrator input component proportional to a 1-bit digital representation of said switching voltage and a second integrator input component proportional to a 1-bit digital representation of said reference voltage, wherein said filter input comprises a first filter input component proportional to said integrator output, and wherein said Schmitt trigger input comprises said filter output.
