  • Patent number: 9599971
    Abstract: A method operates an onboard power supply system in a motor vehicle. The onboard power supply system has a master controller and a slave controller, in which the master controller communicates with the slave controller via a subsidiary bus system and a further onboard power supply system component via a main bus system. Present requests are received in the slave controller and in response to the present requests, performing one of: putting the slave controller into an operating mode and switching the master controller to a transmission mode, in which the master controller coordinates communication between the slave controller and the onboard power supply system component; or putting the slave controller into a sleep mode and switching the master controller to an undertaking mode, in which the master controller responds to queries from the onboard power supply system component to the slave controller.

  • Patent number: 6873271
    Abstract: A power supply particularly suitable for high-speed optical data transmission employs readily available components to achieve desired voltage tolerances. More specifically, a voltage signal supplied to a load is converted into a digital signal and provided to a processor that derives a digital correction signal from the digital signal. The digital correction signal is then converted to an analog correction signal and is used by a feedback control circuit in the power supply to regulate the output voltage.
