Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods are provided. In an example of the techniques presented herein, a method of operating a Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery (USB-PD) power converter is provided. The method includes generating a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal for controlling the power converter. An output current signal for the power converter is determined. The output current signal corresponds to an output current across an external sense resistor coupled in an output path of the USB-PD power converter. A fault condition is identified based on the PWM signal and the output current signal. Operation of the power converter is disabled responsive to identifying the fault condition.
