1. An adaptive power converter, the adaptive power converter comprising:
a power converter controller;
a switching power conversion circuit comprising an input switch, a low-pass filter, and a non-linear control feedback compensator executed by the power converter controller, wherein the input switch is controlled using feedback control from the non-linear control feedback compensator, wherein the non-linear control feedback compensator controls the input switch to regulate an output from the switching power conversion circuit based on a plurality of regulation profiles;
a measurement estimate and gain module executed by the power converter controller; and
a power converter state detection and correction function executed by the power converter controller;
wherein the measurement estimate and gain module is configured to evaluate power converter state information from the power converter state detection and correction function; and
wherein based on the power converter state information, the measurement estimate and gain module controls the non-linear control feedback compensator to select a first regulation profile from the plurality of regulation profiles, wherein the non-linear control feedback compensator applies the first regulation profile for regulating the output from the switching power conversion circuit.
