CONTROLLER FOR USE WITH A POWER CONVERTER AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME

摘要

A controller for use with a power converter and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the controller includes a gate drive terminal configured to provide a gate drive signal to enable conductivity of a power switch during a first portion of a switching interval and to disable conductivity of the power switch during a second portion of the switching interval. The controller also includes a current sense terminal configured to receive a power switch signal indicative of a current in the power switch during the first portion of the switching interval, and receive a control signal to operate the power converter or provide a status signal indicative of an operating condition of the power converter during the second portion of the switching interval.
