A digitally-controlled, DC/DC converter includes at least one switched-mode power stage for the purpose of converting an input voltage (Vin) into an output voltage (Vout); the power stage including at least one controllable switching device, which is turned ON and OFF by a control device with temporal resolution .DELTA.t. The converter further includes a duty cycle control mechanism for controlling the duty cycle of the controllable switching device, the duty cycle control mechanism including a mechanism for estimating the target duty cycle, a duty cycle quantization mechanism for determining, for a target duty cycle estimate, a set of quantized ON time/OFF time pairs suitable for controlling the switching device, and a sequencing mechanism for determining the turn ON and turn OFF times of said controllable switching device by choosing, cycle by cycle, an ON time/OFF time pair from the set of quantized ON time/OFF time pairs, choosing in such a manner that the time-averaged value of the resultant duty cycle is equivalent to the estimated target duty cycle.
