By using a signal developed in this way, response to both step-up and step-down transients can be improved and, in multi-phase embodiments, ripple cancellation problems such as noise susceptibility and loss of pulse generation can be entirely avoided.application/pdfenPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/28/733/106/0.pdf15089744H02M3/156H02M2003/156610673328
