A power system comprising a front end regulator coupled to an input supply
voltage (Vin) and providing a regulated input supply voltage (Vbp). The
front end regulator compares the input supply voltage (Vin) and the
regulated input supply voltage (Vbp) and maintains a substantially
constant voltage difference between the input supply voltage (Vin) and
the regulated input supply voltage (Vbp) to thereby reduce ripple of the
input supply voltage (Vin). A DC-DC switching mode power converter is
operatively coupled to the front end regulator and receives the regulated
input supply voltage (Vbp). The DC-DC switching mode power converter
thereby provides a regulated output voltage (Vout).
