A DC to DC buck pulse width modulator converter circuit includes an input, a
high
side output and a low side output. A high side switch is electrically connected
between a common output node and a voltage supply, and controls a flow of current
therethrough dependent upon the high side output. A low side switch is electrically
connected between the common output node and ground, and controls a flow of current
therethrough dependent upon the low side output. A virtual ground amplifier includes
a second input electrically connected to ground. A current feedback resistor is
electrically connected intermediate the common output node and a first input of
the virtual ground amplifier. A variable impedance component is electrically connected
to an output of the virtual ground amplifier and to the first input of the virtual
ground amplifier. The impedance of the variable impedance component is varied dependent
upon the output of the virtual ground amplifier. A sample and hold circuit is electrically
connected intermediate the input of the pulse width modulator converter circuit
and the variable impedance component. The sample and hold circuit sources a virtual
ground current through the variable impedance component, and samples the virtual
ground current.
