Abstract
The disclosure relates generally to pressure regulators, and more particularly, to pressure regulating valves. In one illustrative but non-limiting example, a pressure in a flow channel is translated into a position of a diaphragm, wherein the position of the diaphragm is dependent on the pressure in the flow channel. The position of the diaphragm is then sensed. A position of a valve in the flow channel is then controlled to adjust the pressure in the flow channel acting on the diaphragm so that the sensed position of the diaphragm is driven toward a predetermined position. This may result in regulated pressure in the fluid channel.
