Abstract

A power converter with average current detection and the corresponding detecting method and detecting circuit are disclosed. The average current detecting circuit has an average voltage detecting circuit and a voltage-current converting circuit. The average voltage detecting circuit generates a voltage across a detecting resistor by letting an inductor current flowing through an output inductor of the power converter flowing through the detecting resistor. Further, the average voltage detecting circuit samples the voltage across the detecting resistor when a switch of the power converter transits from an on state into an off state and the opposite and then calculates the average value of the two sampled voltages. The voltage-current converting circuit converts the average value into an average current by multiplying the average value by a scaling factor.
