A system and method for controlling a conversion frequency of a hysteretic mode voltage converter. A digital control loop comprises a timing measure unit having a first input coupled to a reference clock and a second input coupled to a clock based on a switching of the switching of the converter, and an on time adjust unit coupled to the timing measure unit. The timing measure unit counts a number of clock ticks of a clock signal provided by the clock occurring during a period of time specified by a number of clock ticks of a reference clock signal provided by the reference clock. The on time adjust unit adjusts an on time control signal based on the count of the number of clock ticks of the clock signal to alter a frequency of the switching.
