Power rail regulator to regulate DC rail voltage and output current

摘要

A power regulators system and method is disclosed. In one embodiment, a power regulator system (10) is provided and includes at least one power supply (16) each configured to convert a DC rail voltage to a DC load voltage. The DC load voltage can be less than the DC rail voltage and can be provided to power at least one electronic component. The system (10) also includes a power rail regulator (12) configured to generate the DC rail voltage based on an input voltage and to regulate a magnitude of the DC rail voltage to vary between a minimum voltage magnitude and a maximum voltage magnitude and to regulate a variable magnitude of an output current. The DC rail voltage and the output current can be regulated based on load requirements associated with the at least one electronic component (18).
