Abstract
A method for unbalancing a tri-level switching regulator uses hysteretic control when switching across multiple states of the tri-level switching regulator. The method includes determining a battery voltage and an output voltage of the tri-level switching regulator. The method also includes dynamically adjusting at least one of a first hysteretic window of a first hysteretic comparator associated with a second switching state of the tri-level switching regulator and a second hysteretic window of a second hysteretic comparator associated with a first switching state of the tri-level switching regulator based on the battery voltage and the output voltage.
