Abstract
A first module is configured to, based on an input sample, determine a first duty cycle. A second module is configured to, based on a battery voltage and the first duty cycle, determine a second duty cycle. A third module is configured to: set a scalar value based on at least one of a battery current, an amplitude of the input sample, the second duty cycle, and an output voltage; and generate a start signal at a rate equal to a predetermined rate multiplied by the scalar value. A fourth module is configured to set a third duty cycle based on the second duty cycle and the scalar value. A fifth module is configured to generate a PWM output based on the start signal and the third duty cycle. A sixth module is configured to apply power to gates of FETs of a voltage converter based on the PWM output.
