Abstract

When generating a voltage Vof a DC-to-DC converter for a load which is connected to the converter, it is necessary to monitor the quality of the voltage, in particular its amplitude. For this, provision is made for a comparator to be arranged between the output of the DC-to-DC converter and a control input of the control unit, with a first input of the comparator being connected to the output of the DC-to-DC converter (V), the second input of the comparator being connected to a reference voltage (V) and the output of the comparator being connected to the control input of the control unit of the DC-to-DC converter, for controlling the voltage V.
