Current-mode sample and hold for dead time control of switched mode regulators

A method for current mode sample and hold, comprising:

• receiving a current to be sampled at an input device;
• actuating a sample switch to sample a current value;
• and
• storing a parameter using a storage capacitance that is connected in parallel with the input device.

A system for current mode sample and hold control of a power module, comprising:

• means for current mode sample and hold coupled to the power module and configured to receive a current to be sampled from the power module;
• means for control current signal conditioning and scaling coupled to the means for current mode sample and hold and configured to condition and scale a sampled current value;
• and
• means for providing a controllable delay for P off to N on dead time control coupled to the means for control current signal conditioning and scaling and to the power module and configured to receive the conditioned and scaled sampled current value and to generate controllable delay data for turning one or more PMOS transistor of the power module off and one or more NMOS transistor of the power module on.
