A circuit that tracks the maximum power point of the solar cell is disclosed in the present invention. Unlikely conventional way of maximum power point tracking (maximum power point is referred to as MPP hereinafter; maximum power point tracking is referred to as MPPT hereinafter) which tracks MPP in the time frame of second or minutes, in the disclosed invention, MPP is tracked within the switching cycle, using the natural current ripple of the downstream converter circuit. The switching cycle is in the order of 10s of micro-seconds. Within the switching cycle of the converter, there is a natural current ripple which will result in the power change. The MPPT circuit tracks the power change and adjusts the current reference value accordingly to operate at MPP of the solar cell.
