Abstract:
Methods, devices, and integrated circuits are disclosed for controlling a power converter. In one example, a controller includes a peak current reference module configured to output a peak current reference. The controller further includes a valley current reference module configured to output a valley current reference. The controller further includes one or more comparators configured to compare a current through the power converter to the peak current reference and the valley current reference, to turn a gate switch of the power converter on when the current through the power converter falls to the valley current reference, and to turn the gate switch of the power converter off when the current through the power converter rises to the peak current reference.
