Abstract

A high availability DC power supply with isolated inputs. The high availability power supply includes a first diode having a first diode output and a second diode having a second diode output. A first isolated direct current power supply is coupled to the first diode. An output power bus defined by the first diode output coupled to the second diode output is provided. The output power bus is still available to supply power upon the loss of the first isolated direct current power supply or the loss of the second isolated direct current power supply.
