Zusammenfassung:A printed circuit board of a power supply has a multi-tap voltage attenuator mounted thereon that may provide a selectable plurality of input attenuator terminals. A power supply may include two or more of the same printed circuit boards to attenuate different input and output power supply voltages to substantially the same desired lower output voltage. The attenuated output voltage may be input to, e.g., a controller of the power supply to monitor and, when necessary, adjust one or more parameters of the output power supply voltage. The selectable plurality of attenuated voltages allows the same, or substantially the same, printed circuit board to be used in the same and/or different power supplies for attenuating different voltages. Methods of assembling power supplies are also provided, as are other aspects.
