A method of operating a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) for supplying power to a load circuit, which draws a supply current that varies with an input signal to the load circuit, the method comprising:
- monitoring the input signal;
- and
- controlling an amount of accumulated energy transferred for consumption by the load circuit, in use, in accordance with the input signal.
A switched mode power supply (SMPS) for supplying power to a load circuit, which draws a supply current that varies with an input signal to the load circuit, the SMPS comprising a controller adapted to monitor the input signal and control an amount of accumulated energy transferred for consumption by the load circuit, in use, in accordance with the input signal.
