Abstract
A high-side switch and a low-side switch respectively drive the inductor in a first phase and a second phase periodically. The inductor current during a longer phase of the first phase and the second phase is measured as a first portion. Peak of the inductor current at a transition from the shorter phase to the longer phase is estimated. The estimating includes comparing an estimated magnitude with a first magnitude of the inductor current at the transition in a first period, and changing the estimated magnitude. The comparing and changing are repeated until the estimated magnitude equals the first magnitude to identify the peak. A second portion of the inductor current during the shorter phase is generated based on the estimated magnitude. The first and second portions are provided as an emulated current of the inductor current.
