"Method for calibrating a switching converter" was invented by David Chesneau (Grenoble, France).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A buck switching converter is calibrated using a method which alternates between first and second calibration phases. During each first calibration phase: a time period of low-side switch on state is kept constant and, for each current pulse in an inductor, a sign of a value of the current at the end of the time period of on state of the low-side switch is determined. Modification of a time period of high-side switch on st...
