1. A current detecting circuit for use in a power converter having a control circuit, a switching circuit, a transformer and
an energy storage element, said current detecting circuit comprising:
a filter electrically connected to said energy storage element for receiving a voltage signal from said energy storage element
and filtering said voltage signal to obtain an alternating voltage change value;
a rectifier electrically connected to said filter for rectifying said alternating voltage change value to obtain a half-sine
wave voltage change value; and
a differentiator electrically connected to said rectifier and said control circuit for performing a differential operation
on said half-sine wave voltage change value to obtain a current change value of said energy storage element, wherein said
current change value is compared with a predetermined reference value stored in said control circuit so as to dynamically
control the switching status of said switching circuit according to the comparing result.
