Assignee: MONTEREY RESEARCH, LLC
Field: Basic communication processes (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 3:
4. A system, comprising:
a non-resistive load;
a first circuit configured to drive the non-resistive load, wherein:
the first circuit comprises a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode;
the first mode drives the non-resistive load with a first voltage within a voltage window, wherein the voltage window is based on an offset voltage;
the second mode drives the non-resistive load with a second voltage different from the first voltage and to approximate an input voltage, wherein the first voltage and the second voltage are greater than zero; and
the first circuit is turned off in the third mode, thereby reducing power consumption; and
a second circuit configured to change a bias applied to the first circuit to switch the first circuit between the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode,
wherein the first mode remains active during the second mode to ensure a smooth transition from the first mode to the second mode.
