Abstract Embodiments herein relate to a circuit which generates a sawtooth waveform based on an adaptive feedback loop that self-corrects the ramp up rate to account for variations in a device. The sawtooth waveform is obtained by repeatedly charging and discharging a capacitor according to a clock signal. The sawtooth waveform can be sampled once per clock period at a comparator which provides a corresponding binary output to a state machine. If the binary output indicates the amplitude of the sawtooth waveform is below a desired maximum voltage, the state machine outputs a code word to a digitally-controlled variable current source to increase the output current. The sawtooth waveform can be used to provide a pulse-width modulated (PWM) waveform such as for a DC-DC converter.
