System and Method for Controlling the Output Voltage of a Power Supply
First Claim
1. A system for controlling an output voltage of a power supply comprising a control section and an interconnect section having an output point, the system comprising:
- a voltage regulator for providing a control section voltage;
a current measurement device for measuring a control section current and generating a current signal representative thereof; and
a controller for (i) receiving the control section current signal and a voltage command signal representing a desired output voltage at the output point of the interconnect section, and (ii) generating an adjusted voltage command signal based on the voltage command signal representing the desired output voltage, the current signal, a control section internal resistance and an interconnect section external resistance;
wherein the voltage regulator receives the adjusted voltage command signal and provides a control section voltage based thereon in order to supply an output voltage at the output point that is substantially equal to the desired output voltage.

Abstract
A system and method for controlling the output voltage of a power supply that includes a control section and an interconnect section having an output point. A voltage regulator provides a control section voltage, and a current measurement device measures a control section current and generates a current signal. A controller receives the current signal and a voltage command signal representing a desired output voltage at the output point of the interconnect section. The controller generates an adjusted voltage command signal based on the voltage command signal representing the desired output voltage, the current signal, a control section internal resistance and an interconnect section external resistance. The voltage regulator receives the adjusted voltage command signal and provides a control section voltage based thereon in order to supply an output voltage at the output point that is substantially equal to the desired output voltage.
