Abstract:
A control circuit controls a switch of a switching current converter receiving an input quantity, with a transformer having a primary winding and a sensor element generating a sensing signal correlated to a current in the primary winding. The control circuit has a comparator stage configured to compare a reference signal with a comparison signal correlated to the sensing signal and generate an opening signal for the switch. The comparator stage has a comparator element and a delay-compensation circuit. The delay-compensation circuit is configured to generate a compensation signal correlated to the input quantity and to a propagation delay with respect to the opening signal. The comparator element generates the opening signal with an advanced timing correlated to the input quantity and to the propagation delay.

Claim (Index 7):
The control module of  claim 6 , wherein the switching circuit comprises:\n an estimation comparator configured to compare an instantaneous value of the current in the inductive element with a delayed value of the current and to generate ant output based on this comparison; and a latch coupled to the output of the estimation comparator and configured to receive the turning-off signal, the latch configured to generate an output having a characteristic indicating the propagation delay.
