Abstract
Systems and methods for providing redundant voltage regulation are provided. A representative method incorporates: providing a first voltage regulator and a second voltage regulator, the second voltage regulator having output rectifiers; electrically connecting the first voltage regulator to a load such that the first voltage regulator independently powers the load; disabling the output rectifiers of the second voltage regulator; detecting a fault of the first voltage regulator; responsive to the fault, enabling the output rectifiers of the second voltage regulator such that the second voltage regulator independently powers the load.
