1. A method for synchronizing a non-constant frequency switching regulator that generates a regulated voltage output at an output node, the method comprising:

  • providing a source voltage at an input node;

    providing control circuitry coupled to the output node that controls the duty cycle of the switching regulator; and

    providing a phase locked loop comprising a phase detector circuitry to control a parameter of the switching regulator, causing the switching frequency of the switching regulator to be constant.
