Abstract:
The present application is directed at pin programming od controllers for power converters and provides for the programming of a plurality of different controller parameters using a single programming resistor. The value of the programming resistor is used as a pointer to select a table storing a plurality of different settings for the controller.

Claim (Index 1):
An integrated circuit for controlling a DC-DC switching power converter, the integrated circuit comprising:\n a voltage sense pin for sensing the output voltage of the DC-DC switching power converter; an analog to digital converter for converting the voltage sensed at the voltage sense pin to a digital sensed voltage; a first controller responsive to the digital sensed voltage and for providing an output control signal; a first pulse width (PWM) modulator responsive to the output control signal to provide a first PWM output signal at a first PWM pin; a non-volatile memory (NVM) for storing at least four configuration tables, each configuration table in turn comprising at least four parameters employed by the first controller; a configuration pin for connection to a first end of a single configuration resistor, the second end of the configuration resistor being connectable to a ground voltage; a measurement circuit for making a measurement of the resistance of the single configuration resistor at the configuration pin; a second controller using the resistance measurement of the single configuration resistor to select a configuration table to be employed by the integrated circuit.
