A DC-DC power converter, a control component of a DC-DC power converter, and a method of controlling a buck DC-DC power converter are provided. The method includes receiving at least one of a measured load current and a measured input voltage. The measured load current is a measurement of current that flows from the buck inductor of a physical component of the buck DC-DC power converter. The measured input voltage is a measurement of the DC link input voltage measured across a DC link of the physical component of the buck DC-DC power converter. The method further includes generating a control signal to control a pulse width modulator (PWM), wherein the control signal is based on at least one of the measured load current and the measured input voltage. The PWM is configured to control at least one switch that is coupled to the buck inductor to allow the buck inductor to operate on a current flowing from the DC link only when the at least one switch is turned ON.
