Abstract:
A switching converter having a high-side switching transistor and a low-side switching transistor and an inductor, having a circuit for generating a simulated waveform representing a sawtooth inductor current waveform. A circuit for monitoring and voltage at a switch node between the high-side and low-side transistors to determine a time during which the inductor current is increasing and a time during which the inductor current is decreasing wherein voltage across the low-side transistor when it is conducting represents a first portion of the simulated sawtooth inductor current waveform. A circuit for utilizing the time when the inductor current is increasing, the time when the inductor current is decreasing and the voltage across the low-side transistor when it is conducting to generate a portion of the simulated inductor current waveform when the high-side transistor is conducting. A method and a power supply utilizing this circuit are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a first level shifter (LS) having a first LS input and a first LS output; and a second LS having a second LS input, a third LS input, a second LS output, and a third LS output, wherein the first conductor includes:\n a first segment coupled to the first LS input, and configured to be coupled to the switching node; \n a second segment coupled between the first LS output and the second LS input; and \n a third segment coupled between the second LS output and the third input of the SH circuit; and \n wherein the second conductor includes:\n a fourth segment coupled between the first terminal of the switch and the third LS input; and \n a fifth segment coupled between the third LS output and the fourth input of the SH circuit.
