Abstract
A combined regulator and pulsing circuit may comprise a first diode having a cathode that is electrically connected to a positive terminal of a supply of direct current and to a first output terminal of the combined regulator and pulsing circuit. A first switching device is electrically connected between the anode of the first diode and a negative terminal of the supply of direct current. An inductor is electrically connected between the anode of the diode and a second output terminal of the combined regulator and pulsing circuit. The first plate of a capacitor is electrically connected to the first output terminal, and a second switching device is electrically connected between the second plate of the capacitor and the second output terminal. A control system is operatively associated with the first and second switching devices and operates the first and second switching devices between the conducting and non-conducting states.
