Abstract

A method and system for operating a power converter having an electrical component and a switch coupled to a voltage source are provided. A signal is received that is representative of a desired current flow through the electrical component. A signal is generated that is representative of a difference between the desired current flow and an actual current flow through the electrical component. A duty cycle for the switch is calculated based on the signal representative of the difference and a voltage generated by the voltage source.
