ABSTRACT:
A series connected pair of switching transistors in a switching power converter is controlled by a method to improve the efficiency of the switching power converter. The transition times of the first and second transistors are stored and the timing of the application of conduction control signals is determined based on the transition times of the first and second transistor. The conduction control signals provided to the first and second transistors may include pulse width modulated signals.
