ABSTRACT:
A DC to DC converter comprising: an inductor; a plurality of switches for controlling current flow in the inductor such that the inductor is connected to a supply in a first phase of operation such that the inductor receives energy from the supply, and such that the inductor is connected to an output in a second phase of operation in order to deliver energy to the output; and a controller arranged to monitor the current flow in the inductor at the end of the second phase of operation and to modify the relative duration of the second phase compared to the first phase as a function of the current flow.
