Abstract
The disclosure relates to a method of generating an output voltage from a high input voltage and a command signal, the method comprising: providing an inductor having a first terminal and a second terminal linked to a low voltage by a capacitor, the second inductor terminal supplying the output voltage to a load, the low voltage being lower than the high input voltage; and connecting the first inductor terminal either to the high input voltage or to the inductor second terminal, as a function of the command signal.
