Claim:
1. A method for operating a converter including a transformer comprising a primary side and a secondary side, the converter further including a primary side circuit arrangement coupled to the primary side of the transformer and a secondary side circuit arrangement coupled to the secondary side of the transformer, the method comprising: providing, by the secondary side circuit arrangement, at least one of an output voltage and an output current; receiving, at a first coupling component, a first information derived from a value of the provided at least one of the output voltage and the output current; providing, by the first coupling component, a second information about the first information to the primary side circuit arrangement; determining, by the primary side circuit arrangement, a load state of the secondary side based on the received second information, generating, by the primary side circuit arrangement, a state switch control signal dependent on the determined load state; providing, by a second coupling component, the state switch control signal from the primary side circuit arrangement to a switch circuit arranged on the secondary side; providing, by the switch circuit, a primary side circuit arrangement control signal to the primary side circuit arrangement depending on the state switch control signal.
