Abstract: A circuit configuration for generating a switching signal for a current controlled switched mode power supply includes a transformer with windings, a controlled power breaker, in series with a primary winding and a supply DC voltage, a control circuit, for cycle clocked switching of the power switch, a current measuring device measuring the current flowing through the power switch and generating a measured signal as a measure of the measured current value, a reference signal source generating a time-independent constant reference signal, and a comparator circuit comparing the measured signal with the reference signal and signaling the control circuit to switch off the power switch when the measured signal is greater than the reference signal. The reference signal source is connected to a compensation signal source to generate a compensation signal changing over time, the reference signal arising from the sum of the constant reference signal and the compensation signal.
