Abstract
A boost converter includes a clock generator, a switching converter, a hysteretic controller, and a power tracking module. The clock generator configured to output a clock signal; The switching converter configured to operate at a frequency based on the clock signal. The hysteretic controller configured to regulate an intermediate output from the switching converter. The power tracking module configured to change a frequency control signal that is sent to the clock generator, the change in frequency is based on a current flowing into an output capacitor such that a charge time of the capacitor is minimized when the current is maximized.
