    Abstract: A low-power direct current-direct current (DC-DC) converter includes a capacitor, an inductor electrically connected to the capacitor, a first switch configured to be turned on for a first switching interval and supply energy from an input power source to the inductor for the first switching interval, a second switch configured to be turned on for a second switching interval and electrically connect the inductor and a ground terminal for the second switching interval, and a switching control circuit configured to generate first and second switching signals. The switching control circuit is further configured to generate a first sample signal by sampling the voltage level of a first node, and to determine, responding to the first sample signal in time domain, an pulse width adjustment adapted to adjust at least one of the length of a second switching interval and the length of a common blocking interval.
