    Abstract: A DC-DC converter and corresponding method for transitioning between a discontinuous conduction mode, DCM, and a continuous conduction mode, CCM, wherein the DC-DC converter is configured to power a signal processing system within an integrated circuit, is provided. The method comprises receiving input data, wherein the input data is for inputting into the signal processing system; determining an amplitude of the input data; and transitioning between DCM and CCM based on the amplitude of the input data. A DC-DC converter and respective method for transitioning from CCM to DCM comprising determining an estimated current representative of an inductor current through an inductor of the DC-DC converter; and transitioning from CCM to DCM based on the estimated current, is provided. A DC-DC converter and respective method for transitioning from DCM to CCM comprising determining either an output voltage of the DC-DC converter or a duty cycle of the DC-DC converter; and transitioning from DCM to CCM based on the determined output voltage or duty cycle of the DC-DC converter, is provided.

    Abstract: A DC-DC converter and a corresponding method for maintaining an output voltage of the DC-DC converter, wherein the DC-DC converter is configured to operate in a discontinuous conduction mode, within a predetermined voltage range. The method comprises adjusting a duty cycle of the DC-DC converter based on the output voltage to maintain the output voltage within a predetermined voltage range; wherein the duty cycle of the DC-DC converter is adjusted by switching between a first switching frequency to a second switching frequency, and the first switching frequency and the second switching frequency are selected such that the first switching frequency and the second switching frequency fall outside of at least one predefined disallowed frequency band.

    Abstract: A method may include operating a DC-DC switch converter in a forced continuous conduction mode in which for each switching cycle of the switch converter during the forced continuous conduction mode, the switch converter operates in a series of phases including: a first phase in which an inductor current flowing in an inductor of the switch converter increases from zero to a controlled positive current magnitude with respect to a first terminal and a second terminal of the inductor; a second phase in which the inductor current decreases from the controlled positive current magnitude to approximately zero; a third phase in which the inductor current decreases from approximately zero to a controlled negative current magnitude with respect to a first terminal and a second terminal of the inductor; and a fourth phase in which the inductor current increases from the controlled negative current magnitude to approximately zero.
