Abstract
A DC-DC converter circuit is disclosed. The DC-DC converter circuit includes a high-side transistor, a low-side transistor, a peak comparator configured to compare a high-side current through the high-side transistor against a peak threshold, and a valley comparator configured to compare a low-side current through the low-side transistor against a valley threshold. The DC-DC converter circuit may also include a timer circuit configured to measure a first time period during which the high-side current is less than an average-current threshold, a second time period during which the high-side current is greater than the average-current threshold, a third time period during which the low-side current is greater than the average-current threshold, and a fourth time period during which the low-side current is less than the average-current threshold, and to adjust the peak and valley thresholds in response to the first, second, third, and fourth time periods.
