Techniques are disclosed to control output power from a switching power supply. A sample power converter controller circuit includes a control circuit coupled to be coupled to a switch. The control circuit includes a current sense circuit to be coupled to a primary winding of an energy transfer element coupled to the switch. The control circuit also includes a measurement circuit to be coupled to a secondary winding of the energy transfer element. A feedback circuit is also included and is coupled to the control circuit and coupled to receive a feedback-signal derived from an output of a power converter. The feedback circuit is coupled to output a signal to the measurement circuit. An output of the measurement circuit and an output of the current sense circuit are coupled to control a switching of the switch to regulate a combination of an output voltage and an output current of the power converter. A combination of the output voltage and the output current corresponds to at least one of a regulated output region and an unregulated output region. At least one of the unregulated output regions is a self protection auto-restart region. Within at least one unregulated output region the power converter controller circuit provides continuous output power at a substantially maximum output power of the power converter. Each output region corresponds to a magnitude and duration of the feedback signal.
