A method for controlling a voltage step-down converter (20) including an inductive component (21), one terminal of which is connected to an electrical source (50) via a regulating switch (24), while its other terminal is connected to a capacitive component (22), the output of the voltage step-down c
A method for controlling a voltage step-down converter (20) including an inductive component (21), one terminal of which is connected to an electrical source (50) via a regulating switch (24), while its other terminal is connected to a capacitive component (22), the output of the voltage step-down converter being regulated by alternating connection intervals, during which the regulating switch is in an on state, with disconnection intervals, during which the regulating switch is in an off state, the regulating switch being switched from the on state to the off state when the value of the output voltage reaches a disconnection threshold. The disconnection threshold has a variable value which decreases progressively, during each connection interval, from a maximum value of the disconnection threshold.

1. A method for controlling a DC/DC voltage step-down converter, called a “buck converter”, configured to supply an output voltage at a regulated value from an electrical source, comprising: providing said voltage step-down converter including an inductive component, one terminal of which is connected to the electrical source via a regulating switch, while another terminal is connected to a capacitive component at an output of said voltage step-down converter;regulating the output voltage by alternating intervals, called “connection intervals”, during which the regulating switch is in an on state, with intervals, called “disconnection intervals”, during which said regulating switch is in an off state; andswitching the regulating switch from the on state to the off state when the value of the output voltage reaches a disconnection threshold, and from the off state to the on state when the value of the output voltage reaches a connection threshold,wherein the disconnection threshold has a variable value which decreases progressively, during each connection interval, from a maximum value of said disconnection threshold which is greater than a maximum value of the connection threshold. 2. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the disconnection threshold converges progressively, during each connection interval, toward a minimum value of said disconnection threshold. 3. The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the maximum value of the connection threshold is lower than or equal to the minimum value of the disconnection threshold. 4. The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the connection threshold has a constant value equal to the maximum value of said connection threshold, or has a variable value which increases progressively, during each disconnection interval, toward the maximum value of said connection threshold. 5.

The converter as claimed in claim 5, wherein the terminal of the inductive component connected to the electrical source via the regulating switch is also connected to an electrical ground by a controllable or noncontrollable switch. 11. The converter as claimed in claim 10, wherein the controllable or noncontrollable switch is non-controllable and is formed by a diode, one pole of which is connected to a mid-point between the regulating switch and the inductive component, while another pole of the diode is connected to the electrical ground. 12. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the regulating switch is a MOSFET transistor. 13.
