Abstract

See full text

A power converter delivers electrical power from an electrical power source to a load according to a plurality of operation modes, where at least one of the operation modes is a peak current switching mode. Under the peak current switching mode, a switch controller controls the switch in the power converter to be kept on until the current through the switch reaches a peak current value corresponding to a given phase of the input voltage signal to the power converter. The peak current values have a reference shape, which may be a trapezoidal. The power converter may have any topology, such as a flyback-type power converter or a boost-type power converter.
