Abstract:
A method of controlling a power supply includes detecting a transition of the power supply to discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), and locking an operating point of the power supply after detecting the transition. The operating point can be unlocked when a timer expires or when a feedback voltage slope exceeds a threshold.

Claim (Index 8):
A power supply controller, comprising:\n a zero current detection (ZCD) terminal; a first counter configured to count a first plurality of pulses received on the ZCD terminal; a second counter configured to count a second plurality of pulses received on the ZCD terminal; and a control circuit configured to assert a control output of the power supply controller when a value of the first counter is equal to a value of the second counter.
