    Abstract: In an embodiment, a device includes a switching power supply configured to have a first operating mode synchronized by a first clock signal generated by a clock generator a second asynchronous operating mode. The clock generator is configured such that the first clock signal becomes equal, upon transition from the second operating mode to the first operating mode, to the signal having the closest rising edge of a second clock signal and a third clock signal complementary to the second clock signal.

    Abstract: An embodiment voltage converter includes a first transistor connected between a first node of the converter and a second node configured to receive a power supply voltage, a second transistor connected between the first node and a third node configured to receive a reference potential, a first circuit configured to control the first and second transistors, and a comparator including first and second inputs. The first input is configured to receive, during a first phase, a first voltage ramp and, during a second phase, a set point voltage. The second input is configured to receive, during the first phase, the set point voltage and, during the second phase, a second voltage ramp.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a voltage converter is configured to operate by a succession of operating cycles, each cycle comprising an energy accumulation phase and an energy restitution phase, wherein the converter is further configured to determine a duration of one of the phases by comparing a voltage ramp and a first reference voltage, and wherein a slope of the voltage ramp depends on a sign of a current in an inductor at an end of a previous operating cycle.

    Abstract: The process for starting a power supply circuit which includes a switched-mode power supply is performed using: a first phase during which, if an output voltage of the switched-mode power supply is lower than a first voltage, the switched-mode power supply operates in pulse width modulation mode to increase its output voltage up to said first voltage; and when the output voltage has reached the first voltage, a second phase during which the switched-mode power supply operates in a bypass mode.
