Abstract:
1. An intermediate bus converter operable to generate an intermediate bus voltage (V IB ) for use in an intermediate bus architecture power system having a plurality of point of load regulators, the intermediate bus converter comprising: a converting unit operable to receive an input voltage (V a table storage unit configured to store a table relating respective outputs of the converting unit to respective intermediate bus voltages which reduce power loss; and a controlling unit operable to receive a signal available within the intermediate bus converter indicative of an output of the converting unit, determine an intermediate bus voltage (V wherein the controlling unit is operable to determine the intermediate bus voltage (VIB) to reduce power loss by reading an intermediate bus voltage (VIB) from the stored table in dependence upon the signal indicative of the output of the converting unit.
