A DC--DC converter having an input node receiving an input voltage V.sub.IN and generating an output voltage V.sub.OUT. A reference voltage generator provides a voltage V.sub.REF and a hysteresis voltage generator provides a voltage V.sub.HYST. A first comparator generates a signal determined from a difference between V.sub.REF and V.sub.OUT. A second comparator generates a signal determined from a difference between V.sub.OUT and V.sub.HYST. A latch is coupled to receive the outputs of the first and second comparators, and to generate an output. A driver circuit receives the latch output and generates a PWM signal used to switch the output stage. A double pulse suppression circuit masks off the latch inputs for a preselected time during the switching intervals fo the main power transistors to eliminate noise jitter.
