Abstract

To improve power converter ON-time generation, an example apparatus includes: a phase frequency detector to determine a phase difference between a first signal and a second signal; a first pulse generator to generate a first time signal at a second time, in which the first signal is associated with a first time delay based on the phase difference; and a second pulse generator coupled to the first pulse generator. The second pulse generator is configured to: generate a second time signal at a third time, in which the third time is after the second time; and obtain a digital word based on the phase difference at a first time, in which the first time is before the second time and the third time, and the second time signal is associated with a second time delay based on the phase difference.
