Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method for estimating a current in a Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS). The method comprises receiving a first sensor signal comprising a value of a measured voltage over a resistive element in the SMPS. The method also comprises receiving a second sensor signal comprising a value of a measured monitored temperature in the SMPS. The method also comprises calculating the current in the SMPS based on the measured voltage, the measured monitored temperature, and a predetermined temperature difference between a real temperature of the resistive element and the monitored temperature.

Claim (Index 28):
The control unit as recited in  claim 26  wherein said processing circuitry is operative to calculate said current in accordance with: I READ \ue89e \ue89e _ \ue89e \ue89e CORRECTED = ( I READ - OFFSET ) \u00b7 1 + TEMPCO \ue8a0 ( T MON - 25 ) 1 + TEMPCO \ue8a0 ( T MON - \u0394 \ue89e \ue89e T - 25 ) + OFFSET , wherein:\n I READ-CORRECTED  is a current in an external control unit to said SMPS, \n I READ  is said current in said SMPS, \n T MON  is said measured monitored temperature, \n TEMPCO is a temperature coefficient, \n \u0394T is said predetermined temperature difference, and \n OFFSET is an offset due to a design of said SMPS.
