Assignee: AGILENT TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Electrical machinery, apparatus, energy (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A power supply, comprising:
a source comprising a control signal input, and configured to output an output voltage at an output based on a control signal received at the control signal input;
a voltage divider configured to produce a measurement signal proportionally attenuated from the output voltage;
an error amplifier comprising a feedback input, a setting input, and an amplifier output, wherein the error amplifier is configured to receive the measurement signal from the voltage divider at the feedback input, receive a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output signal at the setting input, produce the control signal based on the measurement signal and the DAC output signal, and output the control signal from the amplifier output to the control signal input; and
a digital processor configured to receive the measurement signal converted to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) data signal, receive a digital set-point input signal, and produce a digital DAC data signal based on the ADC data signal and the digital set-point input signal, wherein the digital set-point input signal corresponds to a set-point voltage value of the output voltage that is to be outputted at the output.
