Abstract
A control system including a DC/DC converter and a control module. The DC/DC converter includes a first inductor and a second inductor. The DC/DC converter is configured to i) receive a first DC voltage and ii) output a second DC voltage. The control module is configured to, during a first operation mode, charge the first inductor while discharging the second inductor, and, during a second operation mode, one of i) charge the first inductor while charging the second inductor and ii) discharge the first inductor while discharging the second inductor. The control module is further configured to initiate the second operation mode in response to detecting a current transient in the DC/DC converter.
