Abstract

Systems and methods for operating a voltage converter are described. A circuit can multiply a digital code by a predetermined multiplier to obtain a product. The digital code can represent a desired output voltage of the voltage converter. The predetermined multiplier can cause the product to be maintained within a predetermined window. The product can be maintained within the predetermined window to cause an output of a reference digital-to-analog converter of the voltage converter to be maintained within a predetermined voltage window. The circuit can receive a feedback voltage indicating an output voltage of the voltage converter. The circuit can divide the feedback voltage by a divisor to obtain a divided voltage. The divisor can correspond to the digital code. The circuit can send the divided voltage to an error amplifier of the voltage converter.
