1. A system comprising:
a supply generator including a magnetic regulation stage having a plurality of switches; and
a controller configured to control the magnetic regulation stage in a specified operating mode having a first operating phase and a final operating phase, the control including:
turning on a first group of switches of the plurality to implement the first operating phase of the specified operating mode; and
in response to one or more conditions for transition from the first operating phase of the specified operating mode to the final operating phase of the specified operating mode not being met, entering an intermediate operating phase between the first operating phase and the final operating phase by turning on at least a selected second, different group of switches of the plurality, wherein the intermediate operating phase is entered within a switching cycle of the magnetic regulation stage.
