Circuits and methods used therein provide an adjustable average current through a load in accordance with a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. A condition detection circuit is configured to identify a condition of the electronic circuit and to generate a condition signal indicative of the condition. A current extension circuit is coupled receive the condition signal and coupled to receive the PWM signal. The current extension circuit is configured to generate, at the output node of the current extension circuit, an extended PWM signal having a first state and a second state. The first state of the extended PWM signal longer in time than a first state of the PWM signal by an amount related to a value or a state of the condition signal. Current pulses through the load are extended to be longer in accordance with the extended PWM signal.
