Patent ID: 7855905

Claim:
A digital power supply controller for controlling the operation of a switched power supply, comprising: an integrated circuit package enclosing an integrated circuit chip; a plurality of inputs for interfacing with the switched power supply for receiving sensed inputs therefrom; a plurality of outputs for providing switch control signals for turning on and off switches in the switched power supply; the integrated circuit chip including at least an integrated digital controller for receiving said inputs and generating said outputs, said digital controller being a supervised digital controller and not being an instruction based operation; said integrated digital controller operable to interface with an integrated instruction based processing engine for receiving therefrom supervisory inputs to parameterize at least a portion of the digital control operation of said integrated digital controller and wherein said digital controller is operable to control the switched power supply independent of the operation of said processing engine once parameterized; and wherein a memory is operable for storing instructions for said processing engine.
