Techniques are disclosed to regulate an output of a power converter. One
example power converter controller circuit includes a line sense input to
be coupled to receive a signal representative of an input voltage of a
power converter. A feedback input to be coupled to receive a feedback
signal representative of an output of the power converter is also
included. A drive signal generator is also included to generate a drive
signal coupled to control switching of a switch to provide a regulated
output parameter at the output of the power converter in response to the
feedback signal. The drive signal generator is coupled to receive a
plurality of inputs including the line sense input and the feedback
input. The drive signal generator is coupled to latch the power converter
into an off state in response to a detection of a fault condition in the
power converter as detected by the plurality of inputs if the power
converter input voltage is above a first threshold level. The drive
signal generator to be unresponsive to the signal representative of the
power converter input voltage while the controller is regulating the
output parameter at the output of the power converter.
