Abstract
In some examples, a device comprises a capacitor a bidirectional inverting buck-boost converter coupled to the capacitor and configured to couple to multiple loads and to a voltage source, wherein the bidirectional inverting buck-boost converter is configured to: compare a voltage across the capacitor with a reference voltage; and based on the comparison, facilitate converting a dissipation current flowing from one of the multiple loads into a recycling current.
