An apparatus provides power to a remote load, such as a plurality of digital integrated circuits. The power is routed to the load through a first plurality of pins of a connector, which is mounted, for example, on a periphery of the apparatus's printed circuit board. A feedback path is provided from the load to the apparatus in order to monitor a voltage at the load. The feedback path is routed to the apparatus through a second plurality of pins of the connector. In order to facilitate testing of the apparatus, the output of the apparatus is isolated from the feedback path by a resistance. A switch device is coupled in parallel with the resistance to prevent the output voltage of the apparatus from exceeding a level which the load can safely tolerate.
