ABSTRACT:
A DC to DC converter to convert an input voltage to an output voltage. The DC to DC converter may include a pair of switches including a high side switch and a low side switch, an inductor coupled to the pair of switches; and a controller. The controller may be configured to estimate a zero crossing of an inductor current through the inductor without directly measuring said inductor current. An associated method is also provided.
