Abstract

See full text

A phase current estimator for a switching power converter includes analog circuitry for generating a phase current estimate error by comparing a phase current of the switching power converter to an analog representation of an estimate of the phase current, the phase current having a sawtooth or triangular waveform. The phase current estimator further includes digital circuitry for revising the phase current estimate based on the phase current estimate error and a plurality of parameters associated with operation of the switching power converter, so that the phase current estimate tracks the sawtooth or triangular waveform of the phase current.
