A programmable power supply for providing a regulated DC output power is
disclosed. The power supply provides the output power to any one of a
plurality of electronic devices adapted for receiving the output power at
an operational voltage or an operational current. The power supply
receives a programming signal to maintain the output power at the
operational voltage or operational current associated with a particular
selected electronic device. Accordingly, by varying the programming
signal, the power supply can be programmed to provide output power to any
one of several electronic devices having differing input power
requirements.
