Abstract:
A current sense and feedback circuit is provided for a non-isolated Buck power converter to maintain constant current load regulation. The Buck converter may have a high side power switch and may include an input port, a switcher unit including a switch and a controller, an inductor coupled to the output, and a freewheeling diode for circulating the inductor current when the switch is open. The simplified current sense and feedback circuit of the power converter may include a current sense resistor module coupled to the freewheeling diode to provide a sense signal to the controller. The controller may also be coupled to the output of the power converter to sense an over voltage condition. The simplified current sense and feedback circuit may provide output regulation while maintaining a low component count, small size, and low loss that makes the power converter suitable for use in compact design applications.
