1. A controller employable with a power converter, comprising:
- a peak detector, coupled to a circuit element of said power converter, configured to produce a signal corresponding to a peak current through said circuit element; and
an adjustable reference circuit responsive to a difference between said signal and a reference signal corresponding to a desired peak current to produce a corrected signal corresponding to said peak current.

Abstract
A controller for a power converter and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the controller includes a peak detector, coupled to a circuit element of the power converter, configured to produce a signal corresponding to a peak current through a circuit element. The controller also includes an adjustable reference circuit responsive to a difference between the signal and a reference signal corresponding to a desired peak current to produce a corrected signal corresponding to the peak current.
