Abstract
For use with a multiple output power converter, a secondary side post regulator (SSPR), a method of secondary side post regulating a multiple output power converter and a multiple output multiple output power converter employing the SSPR or the method. In one embodiment, the SSPR includes: (1) an average input current sensing circuit that senses a current flowing through a switch to be controlled in the multiple output power converter and develops therefrom an intermediate signal that is a function of an average of the current and (2) an input voltage feedforward circuit, coupled between an input of the multiple output power converter and the average input current sensing circuit, that adjusts the intermediate signal based on an input voltage of the multiple output power converter to develop a control signal that is a function of both the input voltage and the average of the current thereby to allow trailing edge control to be employed to control an output of said multiple output power converter.
