ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to switch mode power supply (SMPS) controllers employing primary side sensing. We describe an (SMPS) controller which uses an area correlator to compare an area under a feedback signal waveform between a start point defined by said first timing signal and an end point defined by said second timing signal with a reference area. An output of the area correlator provides an error signal for regulating the SMPS output.
