Abstract
Four-switch buck boost power stages with reduced overshoot conditions at an output node are presented. Based on a detected condition for a decrease in a quantity of the active load elements, the method includes enabling an active discharge circuit coupled to an output node of a power stage before the quantity of the active load elements is decreased. Based on a detected condition for an increase in the quantity of the active load elements, the method includes activating the load elements and applying a restricted gain to the voltage conversion circuit.
