Abstract
A switching mode converter, having a switching transistor and an inductor, has a discontinuity detector coupled to the inductor which detects when the converter enters the discontinuous mode. The discontinuity detector determines the portion of the cycle of the switching transistor in which the converter is in the discontinuous mode. A feedback controller is coupled to the output of the converter and to the discontinuity detector which alters a feedback control signal of the converter.
