System for providing a switched regulator with an adjustable operating frequency range. A preferred embodiment comprises a voltage supply and a load, a switch and filter block (SFB) (such as the SFB 510), a comparator (such as the comparator 520), and a fixed off time logic (FOTL) (such as the FOTL 525).

After the specified period of time expires, the SFB is turned back on and the output voltage can recharge. The duration of time that the SFB remains on is a function of the supply voltage, thus permitting an adjustable operating frequency.

Once those subscribers are identified, they are associated with the temporal subscription. The temporal publication is then published to the subscribers associated with the temporal subscription. In this manner, messages are dynamically routed to the appropriate subscribers that may have previously been excluded based on dynamically created temporal topics, subscriptions and publications.
