Abstract:
A controller to regulate a power converter includes a terminal coupled to receive an enable signal including enable events representative of an output of the power converter. A drive circuit is coupled to generate a drive signal to control switching of a power switch to control a transfer of energy from an input of the power converter to the output of the power converter. The drive circuit is coupled to turn on the power switch when an enable event is received in the enable signal. A current limit threshold generator is coupled to the drive circuit to generate a current limit threshold signal. The current limit threshold signal varies each switching cycle of the power switch. A time between consecutive enable events in the enable signal is the switching cycle of the power switch.

Claim (Index 12):
A controller to regulate a power converter, comprising:\n a terminal coupled to receive an enable signal, wherein the enable signal includes one or more transitions between a first state and a second state that are representative of an output of the power converter; and a drive signal generator coupled to generate a drive signal to control switching of a power switch of the power converter to control a transfer of energy from an input of the power converter to the output of the power converter, wherein transitions of the drive signal from a first state to a second state are coupled to turn on the power switch, wherein transitions of the drive signal from the second state to the first state are coupled to turn off the power switch, wherein the drive signal generator is coupled to control the drive signal such that each transition of the drive signal from the first state to the second state is substantially coincident with each transition of the enable signal from the first state to the second state, wherein a beginning of each switching period of the power switch is substantially coincident with each transition of the enable signal from the first state to the second state.
