Abstract
A regulator circuit (,) is connected to a high voltage generator (,). The regulator circuit may be coupled to the generator in either a series or a shunt configuration. In the shunt configuration, the regulator circuit (,) varies the amount of current through a shunt resistor (R,) to change the output voltage provided to a load. The amount of current that is shunted by the regulator circuit is controlled by a feedback circuit consisting of a voltage divider (,) and an error amplifier (,). In the series configuration, the voltage across the regulator circuit (,) is added to the output from the high voltage generator. The current conducted through the regulator circuit therefore varies the summed output provided to the load.
