Abstract

For use with a power converter having a modulator, a controller and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the controller includes: (1) signal processing circuitry that develops a unified control signal based on an output voltage, an output current and a current sharing signal of the power converter and (2) compensation circuitry, coupled to the signal processing circuitry, that compares the unified control signal with a reference signal to develop a modulator control signal for the modulator.
