Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for controlling a surgical instrument. The method includes connecting a power assembly to a control circuit, wherein the power assembly is configured to provide a source voltage, energizing, by the power assembly, a voltage boost convertor circuit configured to provide a set voltage greater than the source voltage, and energizing, by the voltage boost convertor, one or more voltage convertors configured to provide one or more operating voltages to one or more circuit components.

Claim (Index 11):
The control circuit of  claim 10 , comprising a second voltage regulator coupled to the first voltage regulator, wherein the second voltage regulator is configured to provide a second operational voltage, wherein the second operational voltage is less than the first operational voltage, and wherein the voltage boost convertor, the first voltage regulator, and the second voltage regulator are coupled in a daisy chain configuration.
