Abstract:
A method for controlling a voltage regulator is receiving a voltage identification code which has a pulse width modulation signal, providing a duty signal via measuring a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal, calculating a target voltage based on the duty signal, providing a reference signal based on the duty signal and the target voltage. If it is judged that the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal increases, the reference signal is restricted increasing or keeping its value without decreasing, and if it is judged that the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal decreases, the reference signal is restricted decreasing or keeping its value without increasing.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for controlling a voltage regulator, wherein the voltage regulator is configured to provide an output voltage based on a reference signal, the method comprising:\n receiving a voltage identification code, the voltage identification code comprising a pulse width modulation signal; providing a duty signal via measuring a duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal; calculating a target voltage corresponding to the voltage identification code based on the duty signal; providing the reference signal based on the duty signal and the target voltage; and providing a switching control signal to control the voltage regulator based on the reference signal and a feedback signal representative of the output voltage; wherein if the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal increases, restricting the reference signal increasing or keeping its value without decreasing until the reference signal being in a range determined by the target voltage; and wherein if the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal decreases, restricting the reference signal decreasing or keeping its value without increasing until the reference signal being in the range determined by the target voltage.
