Abstract
Methods and systems include an actuator adapted to provide drive power and hold power to an external device. A motor provides for driving the external device to a determined position when the motor is energized. A switching circuit is configured to energize the motor with a high voltage to drive the external device to the determined position and energize the motor with a low voltage to hold the external device in the determined position.
