Abstract
A method includes starting a time count of a time interval at a start of a state change of a switch of a DC to DC converter; monitoring if the switch is in a skip mode; and disabling the skip mode in response to an expiration of the time interval so that the switch changes states at a frequency rate greater than an audible frequency for humans.
