Abstract

A system for enabling an apparatus having a feedback loop to resume steady state operation after feedback loop interruption without the occurrence of transients, the system generally comprising a first circuit for applying a state variable to a load and a second circuit for (i) controlling the first circuit, (ii) monitoring the state variable applied to the load, and (iii) controlling the first circuit to regulate the state variable applied to the load in accordance with a desired state variable. The first and second circuits and the load define a feedback loop. The second circuit further includes an input for receiving a control signal that has a first state that causes the second circuit to enable the first circuit to apply the state variable to the load and a second state that causes the second circuit to inhibit the first circuit from applying the state variable to the load thereby interrupting the feedback loop. The system further comprises a third circuit for storing the applied state variable and preventing decay of the stored state variable during interruption of the feedback loop. The feedback loop resumes operation and returns to a steady state operation in accordance with the stored state variable when the control signal returns to the first state thereby substantially preventing the occurrence of transients from being introduced into the system.
