<p>A DC-to-DC power converter (10) includes at least one power switch (11, 12), a pulse width modulation circuit (16) for generating control pulses for the at least one power switch, an output inductor (Lout) connected to the at least one power switch, and a current sensor (20) connected in parallel with the inductor for sensing current passing through the inductor. The current sensor includes a resistor (Rcs) and a capacitor (Ccs) connected together in series. The current sensor is connected to a peak current controlloop circuit (22) cooperating with the pulse width modulation circuit (16) for controlling the at least one power switch responsive to the current sensor. The resistor and capacitor have respective values so that the current sensor (20) is a substantially instantaneous current sensor. The output inductor (Lout) has an inductance and a direct current (DC) resistance defining a first time constant. The resistor and capacitor of the current sensor (20) define a second time constant within a predetermined range of each other. Alternatively, the resistor and capacitor of the current sensor define a second time constant substantially equal to the first time constant.</p> |
