Patent attributes
An apparatus for controlling a power converter includes an analog-to-digital converter to generate a digital representation of a voltage sense signal indicative of an input voltage of the power converter. The apparatus includes a first comparison circuit to generate a first comparison signal using a current sense signal indicative of a current through a primary-side switch of the power converter. The apparatus includes a gate driver to provide a gate drive signal to the primary-side switch based on a control signal, and a digital controller. The digital controller is configured to produce a time scalar value using the digital representation of the voltage sense signal, produce a timing signal using the control signal and the first comparison signal, scale the timing signal using the time scalar value, and adjust a timing of the control signal to limit a peak current through the primary-side switch based on the scaled timing signal.
