Abstract

A converter to convert an input voltage into a regulated output current for supplying a load includes a reverse current protection diode having an anode coupled to the input voltage and a cathode, an energy storage element coupled to the cathode of the reverse current protection diode, a high side transistor coupled to the energy storage element and responsive to a high side control signal, and a low side transistor coupled to the energy storage element and responsive to a low side control signal. A controller is configured to generate the high side control signal and the low side control signal such that the low side transistor is enabled and the high side transistor is disabled during a pre-regulation interval.
