ABSTRACT:
An example power converter includes an energy transfer element, a switch, a controller, and a current offset circuit. The controller is coupled to switch the switch between an ON state and an OFF state to regulate the output of the power converter. The controller is also adapted to terminate the ON state of the switch in response to a switch current flowing through the switch reaching a switch current threshold. An auxiliary winding of the energy transfer element is adapted to generate an auxiliary winding voltage that is representative of an input voltage of the power converter only during the ON state of the switch. The current offset circuit is coupled to the auxiliary winding to generate an offset current to flow through the switch in response to the auxiliary winding voltage, where an input current of the power converter is adjusted in response to the offset current.
