Abstract:
A digital control system for voltage regulation and a method thereof are disclosed. The digital control system includes an adjustable voltage regulation circuit having multiple discrete conversion ratios, an error generator, a digital controller and a conversion ratio controller. The adjustable voltage regulation circuit, the error generator, the digital controller and the conversion ratio controller form a closed loop control system. The adjustable voltage regulation circuit includes a conversion ratio controlling terminal receiving a conversion ratio signal. The error generator compares an output voltage of the adjustable voltage regulation circuit with a reference voltage to generate an error voltage, and the digital controller outputs a digital control signal to the conversion ratio controller according to the error voltage. The conversion ratio controller outputs the conversion ratio signal to the conversion ratio controlling terminal, so as to use one of the discrete conversion ratios to generate the output voltage.

Claim (Index 9):
A digital control method for voltage regulation, comprising:\n providing an adjustable switch-capacitor power circuit with a plurality of discrete conversion ratios, wherein the adjustable switch-capacitor power circuit comprises an input terminal, a conversion ratio control terminal and an output terminal, and an input voltage is received at the input terminal of the adjustable switch-capacitor power circuit, and an output voltage is outputted at the output terminal of the adjustable switch-capacitor power circuit, and the conversion ratio control terminal receive a conversion ratio signal; comparing, by an error generator, the output voltage with an external reference voltage, to obtain an error voltage; receiving, by a digital controller, the error voltage and outputting a digital control signal; and receiving, by a conversion ratio controller, the digital control signal, and outputting the conversion ratio signal according to the digital control signal, to the conversion ratio control terminal, wherein the adjustable switch-capacitor power circuit uses, according to the conversion ratio signal, one of the plurality of discrete conversion ratios to convert the input voltage into the output voltage.
