More Information
Summary:A high-speed, low-latency configurable digital interface for a voltage regulator includes a first hardwired unit, a second hardwired unit and a programmable microcontroller interfaced between the first and second hardwired units. The first hardwired unit is operable to deserialize incoming frames received over the configurable digital interface into commands and data associated with operation of a switching voltage regulator, and serialize outgoing data into new frames for transmission over the configurable digital interface. The second hardwired unit is operable to process the commands included in the incoming frames deserialized by the first hardwired unit, and provide the outgoing data to be serialized into new frames by the first hardwired unit. The programmable microcontroller is operable to change one or more of the commands and data flowing between the first and second hardwired units.
