ABSTRACT:
A voltage regulator for controlling the voltage of a bus powered by N solar cell arrays. Digital shunts are coupled to N-1 of the arrays. A linear shunt is coupled to the remaining array. Current passing through the remaining array is sensed by the linear shunt which, in response thereto, turns on and off various ones of the digital shunts to maintain the desired voltage on the bus.
