Abstract: A method may include controlling switching behavior of switches of a switch-mode power supply based on a desired physical quantity associated with the switch-mode power supply, wherein the desired physical quantity is based at least in part on a slope compensation signal, generating the slope compensation signal to have a compensation value of approximately zero as seen by a compensation control loop of the switch-mode power supply, and modifying the slope compensation signal on successive switching cycles of the switch-mode power supply to account for differences in an output of the compensation control loop and an average current of an inductor of the switch-mode power supply in at least one phase of a switching period of a switching cycle of the switch-mode power supply.

Abstract: A switching power stage for producing an output voltage to a load may include a configurable switched mode power converter and a controller. The power converter may include a power inductor, a plurality of switches arranged to sequentially operate in a plurality of switch configurations, and an output for producing the output voltage, the output comprising a first output terminal and a second output terminal. The controller may be configured to, for at least one range of magnitudes of the output voltage, control the plurality of switches to operate in at least three switching phases per switching cycle of the power converter in order to generate the output voltage, wherein switching cycles of the power converter are substantially approximately equal in period and control the plurality of switches to apply for each of the at least three switching phases a respective switch configuration of the plurality of switch configurations.

Abstract: A method may include controlling switches of a switching full-bridge of a signal processing system to commutate polarity of a capacitor with respect to the first processing path output and a second processing path output of the signal processing system in response to a condition for commutating connectivity of the switching full-bridge and inserting a feedforward compensation that bypasses a loop filter of the second processing path in order to prevent discontinuities caused by commutating polarity of the capacitor from being compensated by the loop filter.
