A DC/DC converter has an output voltage and sources an output current to a load.
The DC/DC converter includes an error amplifier with a reference input and a summing
input. The reference input is electrically connected to a reference voltage. The
summing input is electrically connected to the output voltage and the output current.
The summing input is configured for adding together the output voltage and the
output current. The error amplifier issues an error signal and adjusts the error
signal dependent at least in part upon the output voltage and the output current.
A comparator receives the error signal. The comparator has a ramp input electrically
connected to a voltage ramp signal. The comparator issues an output signal that
is based at least in part upon said error input. A power switch has an on condition
and an off condition, and supplies dc current to the load when in the on condition.
The power switch has a control input electrically connected to the comparator output
signal. The power switch is responsive to the control input to change between the
on condition and the off condition to thereby adjust the output current of the
DC/DC converter.
