Abstract
A method includes energizing and de-energizing at least one inductor to furnish an output power. An indication of the output power is monitored to detect when a transient occurs in the output power. The energizing and de-energizing are performed at a predetermined frequency when the transient is not detected; and in response to the detection of the transient, the energizing and de-energizing are performed at a frequency that deviates from the predefined frequency to compensate for the transient.
