Abstract:
1. A regulator circuit, comprising: a controller that divides a load into two or more load groups, with a load group of the two or more load groups comprised of at least one load element; the controller directs power to one of the load, at least one load group, and at least one load element commensurate with instantaneous magnitude of a power source voltage and power requirements of one of the load, at least one load group, and at least one load element to establish any one or more of: a load voltage across and a load current through the load; a load group voltage across and a load group current through at least one load group; and a load element voltage across and a load element current through at least one load element; wherein the load group voltage having a first magnitude that is less than the load voltage magnitude, and with the load element voltage having a second magnitude that is less than or equal to the first magnitude; wherein load element current through at least one load element established commensurate with power requirements of the load element and the instantaneous magnitude of the power source voltage to thereby maximize operational output of the load and improve efficiency.
