USB charger circuit
A USB charger circuit includes at least a converter, a control circuitry, a first resistor, a second resistor, an error amplifier, a sense resistor and a diode. The converter has a transistor. The control circuitry is coupled to the transistor. The control circuitry is used for producing a drive signal to the transistor. The first resistor is connected between the output node of the converter and a first node. The second resistor is connected between the first node and a second node. The error amplifier is coupled to receive a voltage divided by the first resistor and the second resistor to compare to a reference voltage. The sense resistor is connected between the second node and ground. The diode is connected between the output node of the converter and a first node.
