Abstract:
A drive circuit and a method are disclosed. The drive circuit includes output nodes configured to be coupled to a load, a capacitor coupled between the output nodes, and a power converter. The power converter is configured to store an initialization value in a memory in at least one of a plurality of on-phases of the drive circuit and to control an initialization phase of at least one other of the plurality of on-phases based on the initialization value stored in the memory. The initialization value is dependent on an output voltage across the capacitor during a load drive phase of the at least one on-phase, and the power converter is further configured to regulate an output current during the load drive phase.

Claim (Index 20):
The drive circuit of  claim 18 , wherein the power converter further comprises:\n an electronic switch connected in series with the primary winding, and a controller configured to drive the electronic switch, wherein a series circuit comprising the primary winding and the electronic switch is coupled to an input configured to receive an input power, and wherein the controller is configured, in each of the plurality of on-phases, to drive the electronic switch in a plurality of successive drive cycles each comprising an on-time in which the electronic switch is switched on and an off-time in which the electronic switch is switched on.
