Abstract

See full text

An example controller for a power converter includes a track and hold circuit, a sample and hold circuit, and drive logic. The track and hold circuit receives a signal that is representative of an output voltage of the power converter. The track and hold circuit includes a first capacitor that provides a first voltage that tracks the signal and then holds the first voltage. The sample and hold circuit then samples the first voltage that is held on the first capacitor. The sample and hold circuit includes a second capacitor that holds a second voltage representative of the first voltage after a fixed sample period. The second capacitor is larger than that of the first capacitor. The drive logic controlling the first switch to regulate the output of the power converter includes disabling the first switch during an on time of the first switch responsive to the second voltage.
