ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for minimizing limit cycle oscillations within a switched power supply includes providing a programmable dither signal as an input to the digital control loop connected between an output and a control input of the switched power supply. The dither signal minimizes limit cycle oscillations from the output of the switched power supply.
