Regulator Circuit For Bilateral Source/Load Power System

George Madden, Bruce Arnold Kimball

Abstract

Circuit regulates output voltage whether current flows from left source/load to right load/source or vice versa. Overall system characterized as voltage-controlled current source with bilateral current capability. Additional feature of control circuit is that maximum current in either direction limited by limiting excursion of output voltage from zero-current value. Thus, external current-limiting circuitry not necessary.
