Abstract
A plurality of the voltage sources may be selectively connectable in a variety of different arrangements using a switch array whose connections are determined by a programmable controller. For example, a desired output voltage may be automatically provided by altering the connections between the voltage sources to achieve the desired voltage. A programmable controller may determine how to connect the voltage sources to achieve the desired output voltage.
