Abstract
A power converter for delivering power from a source to a load includes a switch, pulse generation circuitry producing one or more drive signals for cycling the switch ON and OFF, wherein if the switch is cycled ON and OFF according to a cycle of a drive signal, power is transferred from the source to the load, a comparator for comparing a feedback signal approximating an output voltage at the load to a reference, and a controller coupled to the pulse generation circuitry for controlling which, if any, cycle of a drive signal cycles the switch in response to an output of the comparator.
