Abstract

A device for controlling the output voltage of a rotary current generator is disclosed, in which a generator without exciter diodes is used, and the exciter current is furnished by the rectifier bridge of the generator. The exciter current is regulated with the aid of a first integrated circuit. In addition, a smart power high-side switch, which is regulated by an integrated circuit (IS2), is located in the exciter current circuit.
