Abstract
There are disclosed herein various implementations of a power converter having an advanced control integrated circuit (IC). The power converter includes the control IC and a power switch. The control IC includes a driving stage for driving the power switch, and a sensing stage coupled to the driving stage. The sensing stage is configured to produce a control signal for the driving stage based on an output current of the power converter sensed at a high side bus of the power converter.
