Voltage mode and current mode are the two regulating conditions that control the output of the supply. Most applications call for a supply to be used as a voltage source. A voltage source provides a constant output voltage as current is drawn from 0 to full rated current of the supply. In these applications, the power supply runs in voltage mode, maintaining a constant output voltage while providing the required current to the load. A voltage source is generally modeled as providing a low output impedance of the supply. Current mode works in a similar fashion, except it limits and regulates the output current of the supply to the desired level. When the supply runs in current mode, the supply provides a constant current into a variety of load voltage conditions including a short circuit. A current source is generally modeled as providing a very high output impedance of the supply. These two regulating modes work together to provide continuous control of the supply, but with only one
