Abstract:
A circuit ( 100 ) for protecting a Switching Power Converter (“SPC”) when a short-circuit load condition occurs. The SPC has an output current sensor utilizing at least one current transformer that has a primary winding connected in series with a rectifier and has a magnetic core that should avoid saturation. A pulse-width modulator includes a skip controller providing a series of control pulses to at least one switch. A control pulse is skipped when an abnormally low load resistance causes an input current ramp signal to exceed an input current setpoint signal proximate a start time of a next control pulse of the series and the output current is greater than a predetermined threshold. Operation of the SPC is stopped if more than a predetermined number of consecutive switching cycles are skipped to prevent operation of the SPC while the core of an output current transformer is saturated.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 11 , further comprising generating a signal for inhibiting control pulse skipping when an output current of the SPC is less than a minimum output current threshold.
