1. A burst mode controller for use with a power converter, comprising:
- a burst mode initiate circuit configured to initiate a burst mode of operation when a signal representing an output voltage of said power converter crosses a first burst threshold level; and
a voltage elevate circuit configured to provide a voltage elevate signal to raise said output voltage if a time window expires before said signal representing said output voltage of said power converter crosses a second burst threshold level.

Abstract
A burst mode controller for a power converter and method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the burst mode controller includes a burst mode initiate circuit configured to initiate a burst mode of operation when a signal representing an output voltage of the power converter crosses a first burst threshold level. The burst mode controller also includes a voltage elevate circuit configured to provide a voltage elevate signal to raise the output voltage if a time window expires before the signal representing the output voltage of the power converter crosses a second burst threshold level.
