An apparatus includes a power converter circuit configured to generate a voltage level on a regulated power supply node using a clock signal, and a clock generation circuit configured to dither a frequency of the clock signal. To transition from a first frequency to a second frequency, the clock generation circuit is configured to change, during an initial transition period, the clock signal between the first and second frequencies such that a particular percentage of clock pulses have the second frequency. During one or more intermediate transition periods, the clock generation circuit is configured to change the clock signal between the first and second frequencies such that a percentage of clock pulses having the second frequency increases relative to a prior transition period. During a final transition period of the series, the clock generation circuit is configured to set the frequency of the clock signal to the second frequency.
