A power converter including a power switch, a controller for controlling a switching frequency thereof, and a magnetic device with a non-uniform gap. In one embodiment, the power converter includes a power switch and a magnetic device coupled to the power switch and having a non-uniform gap. The power converter also includes a controller having a detector configured to sense a condition representing an output power of the power converter. A control circuit of the controller is configured to control a switching frequency of the power switch as a function of the condition and control a duty cycle of the power switch to regulate an output characteristic of the power converter.
