Abstract
A power supply system includes a non-linear section that provides an intermediate voltage. A linear section receives the intermediate voltage and generates the output voltage. The linear section forms a control signal that is used by the non-linear section to change the value of the intermediate voltage as the output voltage changes to keep the differential voltage across the linear section low.
