Abstract
A power converter for providing a selectable desired voltage has a converter circuit having an input port for receiving an input of a first voltage and an output port for providing an output of a second voltage. The converter circuit also has a keyway for receiving a key. The key, which is configured to be received by the keyway, contains an electrical component and has a body within which the electrical component is disposed. The output voltage of the converter is determined by the value of the component disposed within the body of the key such that the output voltage can be varied by replacing the key with another key having an electrical component of a different value.
Claims21
A power converter for providing a selectable output voltage, the power converter comprising:
- (a) a converter circuit having an input port for receiving an input voltage and an output port for providing an output voltage, said converter circuit having a keyway;
- (b) a key configured to be received by said keyway, said key comprising a body within which an electrical component is disposed, said electrical component having a predetermined value;
- and
- (c) wherein the value of the output voltage is determined by the value of said electrical component such that the output voltage is varied by replacing the key with another key having an electronic component of a different value.
