A controller for, and related method of, controlling first and second alternately conducting switches of a power converter. In one embodiment, the controller includes a sensing circuit configured to sense a parameter representative of an input voltage of the power converter. The controller also includes a modification circuit configured to alter a drive signal to one of the first and second switches thereby modifying a delay between conduction intervals of the first and second switches as a function of the input voltage.
