Patent attributes
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for generating a temperature independent current limit. The value of the temperature independent current limit may be determined based in part on an error signal representative of a difference between an actual output value and a desired output value of a power converter. When the error signal is below a lower threshold voltage, the temperature independent current limit may be set to a first value. When the error signal is above an upper threshold voltage, the temperature independent current limit may be set to a second, higher value. When the error signal is between the lower threshold voltage and the upper threshold voltage, the temperature independent current limit may change linearly with the error signal. The error signal may be adjusted to compensate for changes in the system caused by a change in temperature.
