Abstract
A power converter can be controlled to generate a target output power. The control process may include obtaining a target current reference for the power converter, sensing an output current of the power converter, and determining a difference between the target current reference and the sensed output current. The next switching duty cycle for the next switching period of the switching circuits in the power converter can be derived based on at least the present switching duty cycle of the present switching period, and the difference between the target current reference and the sensed output current. The switching circuits of the power converter can then be switched according to the derived next switching duty cycle in the next switching period.
