    Abstract: An electronic system and method includes a controller to control a switching power converter in at least two different modes of operation, a normal mode and an error reduction mode. The controller controls an amount of charge pushed (i.e. delivered) by the switching power converter to a load to reduce a charge quantization error. The charge quantization error represents an amount of charge pushed to the load beyond a target charge amount. The controller determines an amount of charge to be pushed to the load. Based on the amount of charge to be pushed to the load, the controller generates a current control signal that controls a current control switch in the switching power converter. Determination of the control signal depends on whether the controller is operating in normal mode or error reduction mode. The controller attempts to reduce the charge quantization error to avoid power fluctuations.
