Abstract
An apparatus includes an output port configured to be coupled to a load, a plurality of current source rectifier (CSR) circuits having outputs coupled in series across the output port, and a control circuit configured to control the CSR circuits responsive to a voltage at the output port. The quantity of CSR circuits may be sufficient to provide redundancy in the event one or more of the CSR circuits fails.
