Abstract:
A power regulation system coupled to an input source voltage (Vin) and an output voltage (Vout), said Vout electrically coupled to a load, the system comprising:a plurality of power conversion blocks in a multi-phase configuration, each block electrically coupled to said Vin at a power IC and coupled to said Vout at an output inductance, said power IC including a command interface having read/write capabilities for storing data; a controller in communication with and providing an instruction to said power conversion blocks, said controller having a plurality of adaptive algorithms configured to receive power conversion data from said blocks and to determine said instruction based on said power conversion data, said controller determining said multi-phase configuration and capable of re-phasing said blocks in response to said power conversion data; and a digital bus providing a communication channel between said plurality of power conversion blocks and said controller.
