Abstract

A self-oscillating buck converter includes a controllable switch, a device for controlling the controllable switch, a device for sensing the output voltage of the buck converter, a device for sensing the output current of the buck converter, and a device for sensing the input voltage of the buck converter. The control device controls the controllable switch in such fashion that the output current level varies in dependence upon the output voltage and the input voltage.
