A power converter includes a switch controller generating a pulse signal controlling a switch to emulate peak current mode control. The switch controller generates a control voltage from a representation of an output voltage of the power converter and a reference voltage. Based on the control voltage and a representation of an input voltage of the power converter, the switch controller determines a peak current in that switching cycle.
