Abstract
A switched-mode power supply includes a soft-burst circuit to minimize or prevent distracting audible noise. The power supply includes a control circuit for controlling switching of an output transistor to deliver a regulated output voltage to a load. The control circuit adjusts the operating frequency of the power supply based on a control signal. The soft-burst circuit discharges a storage device to minimize or prevent audible noise when the control signal reaches a particular level.
