In a power converter, a primary coil receives an input
voltage, and a switch includes a first
electrode, a second
electrode coupled to the primary coil, and a control
electrode. An output unit includes a secondary coil, and outputs an output
voltage. The primary coil and the secondary coil form a
transformer, and the input
voltage is converted to the output voltage by the
transformer. A controller receives a sensing voltage corresponding to a switch current flowing between the first electrode and the second electrode of the switch, detects a valley point of a voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode of the switch based on the sensing voltage, and transmits a
control signal to the control electrode of the switch in accordance with the valley point,
