A method is disclosed for generating pulse width modulated pulse control signals for controlling switches in a switching power supply. First, a count value is determined of a master clock within a switching cycle of the power supply from beginning to end thereof. A separate state machine providing for each edge in each of pulse control signals and each is operated to generate the associated edge as a function of the sum of a fixed reference count value from the beginning of the switching cycle and a determined count value when the sum is determined to equal the actual count value.
