Abstract
A system includes an inductive element, at least one switch, an output stage and a circuit. The switch(es) is coupled to the inductive element to generate switching cycles. The switch(es) energizes and de-energizes the inductive element to generate each switching cycle. The output stage provides an output voltage. The circuit couples the output stage to the inductive element in response to a first set of the switching cycles and decouples the output stage from the inductive element in response to a second set of the switching cycles. The first set of switching cycles do not overlap the second set of switching cycles in time.
