Abstract

Systems and methods control timing of switches in power regulators and power amplifiers. The systems and methods monitor a switch node voltage and obtain rising and falling edges of signals obtained from the monitoring. The systems and methods utilize the rising and falling edges of switch drive signals and predetermined data to obtain delay times for subsequent drive signals.
