Abstract

See full text

A controller for use in a power converter includes a comparator to compare a current sense signal with a current limit to generate a comparator output signal representative of whether a switch current has reached the current limit. A drive circuit controls switching of a power switch to regulate an output of the power converter in response to a feedback signal and the comparator output signal. The drive circuit turns off the power switch in response to the comparator output signal. A current limit generator generates an initial current limit in response to the feedback signal. The current limit is responsive to the initial current limit. A light load sense circuit outputs a light load signal in response to sensing a light load condition of the power converter. A modulation circuit outputs a modulation signal and modulates the initial current limit in response to the light load signal.
