Abstract
A DC-to-DC converter to convert a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage includes a first switch connected to input the first DC voltage, a second switch, the first switch and the second switch being controlled by an input signal to generate the second DC voltage, the first switch and the second switch being connected to a control reference, and a control circuit to control the delay of the input signal by monitoring the control reference around an optimal delay point.
