 Abstract   This paper introduces a novel hardware-efficient auto-tuned output capacitor current and time- constant estimator for indirect energy transfer converters, which is based on well-known principle of the utilization of an auxiliary RC circuit and time constant matching. To provide accurate current measurement and early fault detection of the system while avoiding complex calculations/hardware usually existing in other auto-tuned methods, the reconstruction of the time constant is performed through a simple detection of the polarity of the slope of the estimator voltage during the main switch off time. The effectiveness of the estimator has been experimentally verified with a 20 W boost-based prototype, demonstrating about 97\% of accuracy in the instantaneous current and time-constant measurements.
