ABSTRACT:
A novel circuit is taught to provide a smooth current transfer function over a range of two input voltages, so that power can be supplied to an electronic circuit from more than a single power source. In one embodiment such power sources include a battery and an DC supply operated off the AC mains. Associated with each such supply is a current source designed to provide a reference current. This reference current is used to establish mirror currents from each of the power leads in order to provide the desired output current.
