Dynamic Analog Output Voltage Scaling

If the output voltage of a power supply must be adjustable, add a third resistor to the feedback resistor divider and apply an analog voltage to this resistor (for example, with the DAC of a microcontroller). The analog signal can also be provided by smoothing a PWM signal with a low-pass filter. After entering the minimum output voltage, maximum output voltage, reference voltage, maximum adjusting voltage signal, and the desired value for the top feedback resistor, Power Stage Designer calculates the required bottom feedback resistance and the adjusting voltage signal series resistance, as well as the minimum bias current going through the top feedback resistor.
