    Abstract: An inductor current emulator circuit includes a ramp signal generation circuit and an emulator control circuit. The inductor emulator circuit generates a ramp signal for emulating an inductor current flowing through an inductor of a power stage circuit. The ramp signal generation circuit generates the ramp signal according to a first signal and a second signal. A current sense signal is related a high side switch current flowing through the high side switch or a low side switch current flowing through the low side switch. The emulator control circuit obtains a first difference integration value and a second difference integration value of differences between the current sense signal and the ramp signal during a first duration and a second duration, respectively, to generate the first signal and the second signal, respectively. Center time points of the first duration and the second duration are different from each other.
