鈥?The PRM controls the factorized bus voltage, V
f
, in proportion to output current to compensate for the output resistance, Ro, of the VTM. The VTM
output voltage is typically within 1% of the desired load voltage (V
L
) over all line and load conditions.

external error amplifier or Point-of-Load IC (POLIC) senses the load voltage and controls the PRM output 鈥?the factorized bus 鈥?as a function of
output current, compensating for the output resistance of the VTM and for distribution resistance. The Factorized Bus voltage (V
f
) increases in proportion to load
current. The remote feedback loop is isolated within the PRM to support galvanic isolation and hipot compliance at the system level.
