Abstract

Systems and methods for operating an uninterruptable power supply are provided. The uninterruptable power supply may include a rectifier that has a transistor and an inductor. The uninterruptable power supply may also include a controller. A current sensor can be configured to detect inductor current and to provide a detected inductor current value to the controller to generate a current error value based and to generate a pulse width modulation control signal based in part on the current error value. The controller can apply the pulse width modulation control signal to the transistor to adjust a switching frequency of the transistor.
