Abstract:
This disclosure describes a system and a method to limit (i.e., regulate) the input power of a power converter as a function of the voltage and/or loading condition of a power-limited source such as a battery. In some embodiments, the power converter may comprise a transconductance amplifier that may produce a sink current to a current mirror, which in turn that may provide an adjusted current limit threshold to the power converter. The power converter may utilize the current limit threshold to perform cycle-by-cycle current limiting, thus regulating the input power drawn from the battery.

Claim (Index 19):
A power converter comprising:\n an input configured to receive an input voltage from a power limited source; an inductor and a plurality of switching devices coupled between the input and an output of the power converter; a switch controller coupled to the plurality of switching devices and configured to operate the switching devices to produce an output voltage from the input voltage; and a current limiting circuit having a current regulator and a regulator controller, the current limiting circuit being coupled to the switch controller and configured to limit input power by causing the switch controller to modify operation of one or more of the plurality of switching devices responsive to a comparison between the input voltage and a reference voltage.
