Methods and systems for a discharge power supply for providing a stabilized discharge power to a Hall-effect thruster are provided. A method includes sensing, by a first sensor circuit and based on a discharge power, a voltage sense signal, sensing, by a second sensor circuit and based on the discharge power, a current sense signal, multiplying, by a multiplying circuit, the voltage sense signal and the current sense signal to generate a feedback signal, generating, by a control logic circuit and based on control signals, further control signals, generating, by an impulse generation circuit and based on the further control signals and the feedback signal, control impulses, producing, by a transistor bridge and using the control impulses and a power source, an electrical impulses, and modifying, by an output circuit, the electrical impulses to generate the stabilized discharge power.
