Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a switched-mode power supply includes turning on a semiconductor switch coupled to a primary winding of a transformer for a first time period of a first cycle, turning off the semiconductor switch for a second time period of the first cycle, detecting a change in slew rate of a voltage at an output node of the semiconductor switch, determining a switch turn-on time based on detecting the change in the slew rate, and turning on the semiconductor switch at the determined switch turn-on time for a first time period of a second cycle.
