Abstract

A method for cable resistance cancellation. A single remote sense line and a simple cable resistance cancellation network are leveraged in a power supply unit to compensate for the total cable voltage drop, while maintaining tight output accuracy. By completely compensating for the voltage drops, the wire gauge for the main power wires can be reduced, thereby allowing the use of smaller diameter cables.
