Systems and methods are disclosed to mitigate power consumption in a power
supply, such as when operating in a low power mode. One aspect of the
present invention relates to a control system for a power supply. The
system includes a bias generator that provides a bias signal operative to
charge a storage device based on a control signal. During a low power
mode, a control system provides the control signal with a predetermined
duty cycle that is functionally related to a storage capacity of the
storage device.
