Abstract

A controller apparatus comprising a phase-locked loop circuit which includes a phase comparator and a low-pass filter connected to accept a signal representing the switching frequency of the apparatus and an external frequency signal to produce a control signal for a controllable switch serving to vary the threshold levels of a reference signal, said control signal being a function of the phase difference between the input signals. The hysteresis of the apparatus is thereby changed over a few synchronization cycles in order to pull the controller into synchronization.
