Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure provide a method. The method includes determining a power adjustment to a load, determining whether a switching frequency of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal is within a specific range, and adjusting the switching frequency of the PWM signal based on the power adjustment to control power transfer to the load. The switching frequency is adjusted to remain in the specific range.
