US Patent 11978613 Transition control in a bias supply

Bias supplies and bias control methods are disclosed. One method comprises applying an asymmetric periodic voltage waveform and providing a corresponding current waveform at an output node relative to a return node; receiving a signal to change from a current state of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform to a next state of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform; and adjusting, during a transition from the current state to the next state, at least one portion of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform and simultaneously adjusting a fundamental frequency of the asymmetric periodic voltage waveform to settle at the next state.
