A power-mode controlled power converter is capable of supplying a constant output voltage and output current. A PWM controller generates a PWM signal in response to a voltage sampled from a transformer auxiliary winding. A programmable current-sink and a detection resistor compensate for a voltage drop of an output rectifier. A low-pass filter integrates a switching-current voltage to an average-current signal. An attenuator produces an input-voltage signal from a line-voltage input signal. The PWM controller multiplies the average-current signal with the input-voltage signal to generate a power-control signal. An error-amplifier compares the power-control signal with a power-reference voltage to generate a limit voltage. The limit voltage controls the power delivered from a primary-side circuit to a secondary-side circuit of the power-mode controlled power converter. Since the power-reference voltage varies in proportional to output voltage variations, a constant output current is therefore achieved.
