A power supply system includes a power source and a control circuit. The
power source provides DC power. A control circuit, which is remote to the
power source, receives the DC power and provides a first DC power signal
to an electronic device. The control circuit includes an active component
to provide at least one of a voltage control output or a current control
output to the power source to regulate the DC power. A power supply
