1. A resonant switching power circuit, comprising:

  • a resonant circuit including at least one inductance and at least one capacitance for transferring energy to an output of the resonant switching power circuit;

    a switching circuit coupled to the resonant circuit for transferring energy from an input voltage source to the resonant circuit; and

    a control circuit having a burst mode for controlling the switching circuit during low energy demand conditions, in which a number of pulses are generated in intermittent bursts, and wherein the bursts are varied in a manner that reduces the amplitude of peaks in an average audio spectrum of the bursts over that of a burst having a substantially fixed pulse pattern and burst repetition rate.
