Abstract
A power converter circuit emulates the functioning of the satuarable reactor therein using a solid state switch in connection with a control circuit. The power converter circuit includes a voltage source and an output. A switch having a control input and current carrying terminals couples the voltage source to the output. An integrator is connected across the current carrying terminals of the switch. A current source is coupled to the integrator. A comparator couples an output of the integrator to the control input of the switch. The comparator turns on the switch when said output of said integrator exceeds a threshold voltage.
