Abstract
An extended range power supply system includes a power source for providing operational power with a power supply circuit connecting with the power source for regulating the operational power. A current sensing circuit is connected with the power supply circuit, the current sensing circuit including a plurality of current sensing elements, each sensing element configured for a selected output range, with each sensing element individually operatively activated, and each sensing element providing a feedback signal. A control loop compensation circuit is connected with the current sensing circuit for receiving the feedback signal and with the power supply circuit to provide an error signal. The control loop compensation circuit includes a like plurality of control loop compensation components, each operatively associated with one current sensing element for receiving a feedback signal. Activation of one current sensing element and an associated control loop compensation component for a desired output current range provides for optimum performance of the power supply at the selected peak output current range.
