    Abstract: A method for limiting an input or output current of a DC-DC converter and a current limiting circuit are disclosed. In an embodiment a method for limiting an input or output current of a DC to DC converter includes storing a first value representative of a level of an output voltage of the DC to DC converter in response to the input or output current exceeding or falling below a first threshold and modifying a control signal based on the first value.

    Abstract: A method executes instructions, each corresponding to switching a signal, a delay, and a condition selected among first, second, or third conditions. Each execution includes performing, after the delay, switching the signal if the condition is the first condition, if the condition is the second condition and a flag is in an active state, or if the condition is the third condition and the flag is in an inactive state, or not switching the signal if the condition is the second condition and the flag is in the inactive state, or if the condition is the third condition and the flag is in the active state. A first instruction represents a first switching of a first signal, a first delay, and the second condition, and is immediately followed by a second instruction representing the first switching of the first signal, a second delay, and the third condition.

    Abstract: An embodiment DC to DC conversion circuit comprises a DC to DC converter and a regulation circuit. The regulation circuit comprises a comparator configured to detect, during a discharge phase of the DC to DC converter, an overshoot period during which an output voltage of the DC to DC converter exceeds a target voltage, and a timer configured to measure a duration of the overshoot period.
