Abstract
A controller for a power converter includes an output terminal operative to output a modulation signal for controlling a phase current of the power converter. A modulator is operative to generate the modulation signal such that an output voltage of the power converter follows a first portion of a load-line when load current is above a first threshold, the first portion of the load-line having a first slope that determines a rate of change of the output voltage as a function of the load current. An interface is operative to receive a temperature signal. Circuitry is operative to change the first threshold in response to receipt of the temperature signal.
