Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. A method for supplying a voltage, the method comprising:
outputting an output voltage from a source based on a control signal received by the source;
producing a measurement signal proportionally attenuated from the output voltage;
transmitting the measurement signal to a feedback input of an error amplifier, and to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC);
in the ADC, converting the measurement signal to an ADC data signal, and transmitting the ADC data signal to a digital processor; and
in the digital processor, receiving a digital set-point input signal corresponding to a set-point voltage value of the output voltage that is to be outputted from the source, producing a digital digital-to-analog converter (DAC) data signal based on the ADC data signal and the digital set-point input signal, and transmitting the digital DAC data signal to a DAC.
