A linear-predict sampling circuit is developed to generate a feedback signal by detecting a demagnetized voltage of the transformer. A switching signal is generated in response to the feedback signal for regulating the output of the power converter. A signal-generation circuit is used to generate a sample signal in response to a first signal, a second signal, and the switching signal. The first signal is correlated to a magnetized voltage of the transformer. The second signal is correlated to the demagnetized voltage of the transformer. A sample-and-hold circuit is coupled to the transformer to generate the feedback signal by sampling the demagnetized voltage of the transformer in response to the sample signal. The feedback signal is correlated to the output voltage of the power converter.
