Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for controlling a power converter operating in response to a modulating signal during successive switching cycles includes: (a) A signal sensor coupled with the converter and sensing an extant signal during the extant cycle. (b) A signal level predictor coupled for receiving a reference signal and establishing a predicted level for the extant switching cycle. (c) A comparer coupled with the signal sensor and the signal level predictor for presenting a first output signal when the extant signal and the predicted signal level have a first relationship and for presenting a second output signal when the extant signal and the predicted signal level have a second relationship. (d) A control unit coupled with the comparer and with the converter for interrupting presentation of the modulating signal to the converter device when the comparing unit presents a selected one of the first and second output signals.
