  • Patent number: 11946979
    Abstract: A switching power converter is provided that communicates with a mobile device to receive a value of a load detection current. The switching power converter adjusts the cycling of a power switch until a constant current mode of operation is entered with a known output current driving the mobile device. The switching power converter subtracts the load current from the output current to measure a soft-short circuit current.
