Abstract
A buffer system may have an output for driving a switched load that changes during periods indicated by a switching signal. The buffer system may operate in a closed loop when the switching signal indicates that a load change is not taking place by comparing a signal indicative of the output of the buffer system with a reference voltage. The buffer system may operate in an open loop when the switching signal indicates that a load change is taking place by not comparing signal indicative of the output of the buffer system with the reference voltage. Both the buffer system and the switched load may be on the same chip.
