  • Publication number: 20240324081
    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.

  • Patent number: 7587363
    Abstract: The invention provides systems and methods for managing transactions. The system includes a data input portion that communicates first information regarding a payment request, as well as a decision reference data store for communicating second information regarding parameters for use in determining a payment option for the payment request. The system also includes a processor. The processor inputs the first information and the second information. Then, the processor selectably determines the payment option to direct a transmission of funds from at least one payment source to at least one payee account based on an optimization determination performed by the processor. The optimization determination may provide savings to the institution processing the transaction, or alternatively, may provide savings to the customer initiating the transaction, for example.
