Abstract
A circuit includes a controller circuit configured to receive an output voltage of a converter and adjust a switching frequency of the converter in response to a status of an output load and an output load sensing circuit configured to determine the status of the output load and provide the peak current to the controller circuit. The output load sensing circuit may include a first timer configured to provide a delayed first signal to a peak current control in response to the output load being a heavy load. A second timer may be configured to provide a delayed second signal to the peak current control in response to the output load being a light load. The peak current control may be configured to adjust a peak current based on the received first signal and the second signal and configured to provide the peak current to the controller circuit.
