A method for supplying power to a low-voltage (LV) onboard electrical subsystem of a vehicle from the high-voltage (HV) onboard electrical subsystem thereof via at least one DC voltage converter with an adjustable current saturation value, wherein an auxiliary voltage that is between a nominal voltage of the HV onboard electrical subsystem and a specified minimal input voltage is set; when an input voltage measured at the DC voltage converter falls below the value of the auxiliary voltage, an associated input power is determined; a power-adapted value of the current saturation is calculated on the basis of the previously determined input power, and is set instead of a standard value of the current saturation; and the current saturation is reset to the standard value only when the input voltage again reaches the nominal voltage of the HV onboard electrical subsystem.
A method for supplying power to a low-voltage (LV) onboard electrical subsystem (LVN) of a vehicle from a high-voltage (HV) onboard electrical subsystem (HVN) of the vehicle via at least one electrically isolated DC-DC voltage converter having an adjustable value of a current saturation representing a maximum output current that the at least one electrically isolated DC-DC voltage converter can output to the low-voltage onboard electrical subsystem, the method comprising:
