In one form, a switching controller includes a buck controller and a bypass circuit. The buck controller has an input for receiving a variable voltage, an output for providing a buck voltage by switching the variable voltage into an inductive output filter according to a switching signal having a variable duty cycle to regulate a current into a load. The bypass circuit is coupled to the buck controller for comparing the variable duty cycle of the switching signal to a threshold, for activating a bypass signal in response to the variable duty cycle exceeding the threshold, and for subsequently de-activating the bypass signal according to a predetermined algorithm.
