Acceleration of output energy provision for a load during start-up of a switching power converter

An apparatus comprising:

• a controller, wherein the controller is configured to:
• detect a start-up condition of a load, wherein (i) to detect a start-up condition comprises to detect a load voltage below a predetermined voltage threshold level and (ii) a start-up condition includes when the load voltage is below the predetermined voltage threshold level during a normal operation of a switching power converter;
• upon detection of the start-up condition:
• cause the switching power converter to provide an amount of charge to the load at a rate in accordance with a start-up mode until reaching an energy-indicating threshold;
• determine if the energy-indicating threshold has been reached;
• and
• when the energy-indicating threshold has been reached, cause the switching power converter to (i) decrease the amount of charge provided to the load relative to the charge provided during the start-up mode and (ii) operate in a distinct post-start-up-mode.
