Load line control will get the output voltage decreased with the increasing output current linearly, while the IMON feature needs to have a voltage output proportional to output current. The output current needs to be sensed for both of the two features. An inductor DCR current sense is implemented in the proposed method. Compared with current sense with sensing resistor, additional cost can be saved. Two stage RC filter is used to filter the inductor current ripple and get the DC output current information.
