Abstract
A power distribution system and method includes a controller that is configured to control a switching power converter. In at least one embodiment, the controller includes a compensation current control circuit to control a compensation current that reduces and, in at least one embodiment, approximately eliminates variations in current drawn by the controller during a particular operational time period. In at least one embodiment, the power distribution system is a lamp that includes the controller, a switching power converter, and one or more light sources, such as light emitting diodes.
