Estimating the term…
An apparatus and corresponding method are provided to control a switched current circuit by switching the switched current circuit into an ON-state, waiting an amount of waiting an amount of time tB after the current within the switched current circuit increases above a current threshold, and switching the switched current circuit into an OFF-state after waiting the time tB. Further, a duration of time tA1 between switching the switched current circuit in the OFF-state and the point at which the current within the switched current circuit decreases below the current threshold is determined, and the method includes waiting a time tA2 after the current within the switched current circuit decreased below the current threshold, the time tA2 based at least in part on the time tA1, after which the switched current circuit is switched into the ON-state.

A method of controlling a switched current circuit comprising:
A pulse-width modulating current regulator configured to:
