Abstract
A switch control circuit that controls a switching operation of a power switch includes: an input current calculator generating an input sense voltage by integrating a sense voltage that indicates a switching current flowing to the power switch for a switching period unit of the power switch; and an input current comparator generating a gate-off signal according to a result of comparison between the input sense voltage and a predetermined input reference voltage, wherein the power switch is turned off according to the gate-off signal.
