Abstract

A regulated power source for supplying power to a circuit, the power source including a regulated power converter generating an output voltage for the circuit, the converter including a control terminal through which the output voltage can be regulated by feedback from the circuit; a monitoring circuit including a plurality of input terminals each of which monitors a voltage at a different location on the circuit, the monitoring circuit producing a control signal that is a function of all of the monitored voltages at the plurality of input terminals, the control signal driving the control terminal of the regulated power converter so as to regulate the output voltage to maintain the control signal at a constant value.
