Abstract
An electrical system includes a DC/DC converter having a first transistor and a second transistor and a controller. The converter is configured to supply an output voltage to a load. The controller is configured to operate the first and second transistors in a set of modes. When an electrical current drawn by the load is associated with a low electrical current, the set of modes is configured to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness by operating the first and second transistors in a continuous switching mode when the current drawn by the load exceeds a first threshold, operating the first and second transistors in a PWM mode when the current drawn by the load is less than the first threshold and greater than a second threshold, and operating the first and second transistors in a burst mode when the current drawn by the load is less than the second threshold.
