1. A power factor correction controller comprising:

  • a processor to receive and process one or more switching power converter feedback signals and generate a pulse width control signal using each processed feedback signal; and

    a pulse width modulator, coupled to the signal processor, having an input to receive the pulse width control signal and generate a pulse width modulated, power factor correction (PFC) control signal to control a switch that controls a power factor correction stage of the switching power converter;

    wherein a pulse width of the PFC control signal varies approximately with a square root of the PWM control signal.
