Abstract
A method includes receiving a first indication of an inductor current provided by a voltage converter. The method also includes, responsive to a ratio of a rate of change of the first indication to a rate of change of a compensation ramp being greater than a threshold value, providing a second indication to the ramp generator. The compensation ramp is provided by a ramp generator to control the voltage converter. The second indication is configured to cause the ramp generator to increase an absolute value of the rate of change of the compensation ramp. The method also includes, responsive to the ratio being less than the threshold value, providing a third indication to the ramp generator. The third indication is configured to cause the ramp generator to decrease the absolute value of the rate of change of the compensation ramp.
