An enabling circuit for enabling a DC--DC converter having a capacitor coupled to an output terminal of the DC--DC converter to be controlled by a control signal. The enabling circuit may include a comparison circuit configured to compare a feedback signal representative of a charge on the capacitor with a signal representative of a reference charge and to provide an output to in response to the comparison to enable the DC--DC converter to be controlled by the control signal if the charge on the capacitor is less than the reference charge. The enabling circuit may also include a discharge path configured to discharge the charge on the capacitor if the charge is greater than the reference charge. A related system and method are also provided.
