    Abstract: An electronic system and method include a controller to actively control transfer of excess energy to an auxiliary-winding of an auxiliary power dissipation circuit. The excess energy is a transfer of energy from a primary winding of a switching power converter to the auxiliary-winding of the auxiliary power dissipation circuit. In at least one embodiment, the electronic system is a lighting system that includes a triac-based dimmer. The excess energy is energy drawn through the primary-side winding of the switching power converter to provide operational compatibility between a dimmer through which a power supply provides energy to the switching power converter and a load to which the switching power converter provides energy.

    Abstract: An electronic system and method include a controller to actively control power transfer from a primary winding of a switching power converter to an auxiliary-winding of an auxiliary power supply. The switching power converter is controlled and configured such that during transfer of power to the auxiliary-winding, the switching power converter does not transfer charge to one or more secondary-windings of the switching power converter. Thus, the switching power converter isolates one or more secondary transformer winding currents from an auxiliary-winding current. By isolating the charge delivered to the one or more secondary-windings from charge delivered to the auxiliary-winding, the controller can accurately determine an amount of charge delivered to the secondary-windings and, thus, to a load.

    Abstract: An electronic system and method include a controller to operate in a start-up mode to accelerate driving a load to an operating voltage and then operates in a post-start-up mode. A start-up condition occurs when the controller detects that a load voltage is below a predetermined voltage threshold level. The predetermined voltage threshold level is set so that the controller will boost the voltage to an operating value of a load voltage at a faster rate than during normal, steady-state operation. The controller causes a switching power converter to provide charge to the load at a rate in accordance with a start-up mode until reaching an energy-indicating threshold. When the energy-indicating threshold has been reached, the controller causes the switching power converter to (i) decrease the amount of charge provided to the load relative to the charge provided during the start-up mode and (ii) operate in a distinct post-start-up-mode.
