ABSTRACT:
A load-compensating power distribution regulator system includes a plurality of circuit regulators interfaced to a single microcomputer, the microcomputer sensing for each circuit a regulator voltage and an output current. The microcomputer compares a computer line-drop compensated actual circuit voltage with a dynamically determined desired circuit voltage using a variably offset deadband for controlling regulator action depending on whether the output current is changing favorably for bringing the actual circuit voltage toward the desired circuit voltage. The number of regulator actions in a time period is also monitored for adjusting the magnitude of the deadband to limit wear-and-tear of the regulator.
