Abstract
Systems and methods implementing dithered hysteretic current control are discussed. One system can include a switched-mode power supply, a control component, and a dither component. The control component can detect a crossing of a first threshold associated with a first mode of the switched-mode power supply, and generate first and second control signals, wherein the first control signal is based on the crossing of the first threshold. The dither component can receive the first control signal, delay the first control signal for a first random time period, and output the first control signal to the switched-mode power supply. The switched-mode power supply can receive the first control signal and the second control signal, switch from the first mode to a second mode based on the first control signal, and switch from the second mode to the first mode based on the second control signal.
