Abstract: An asynchronous finite state machine has states coupled by transitions each implemented by a flip-flop. Each flip-flop supplies a bit of a state of arrival of the corresponding transition, and receives a bit of an initial state of this transition on its data input and a first signal dedicated to the flip-flop on its control input. A circuit supplies, for each transition, a second signal of request for the transition. Another circuit generates based on the second signals, at each request for a transition and in the absence of a pulse of the first signals, a pulse of the first signal dedicated to the flip-flop of this transition, and a pulse of the first signal dedicated to each flip-flop supplying a bit to the flip-flop of the transition.

During each second calibration phase: a time period of high-side switch on state is kept constant and, for each current pulse in the inductor, a value of the current at the end of the time period of on state of the high-side switch is compared with a target value. Modification of the time period of low-side switch on state is made based on the comparison.
