Abstract
A method of controlling a half-bridge circuit includes receiving an analog feedback signal proportional to an output of the half-bridge circuit, comparing the received analog feedback signal with a threshold value, selecting a digital feedback signal based on a result of the comparing, comparing the digital feedback signal with a digital reference signal to generate a digital error signal, integrating the digital error signal to generate an integration error signal, downscaling the integral error signal to generate a downscaled integration signal, sampling the downscaled integration signal to generate a sampled integration signal, and generating pulsed signals from the sampled integration signal to provide an input to the half-bridge circuit.
