POWER CONTROL SYSTEM, METHOD FOR MANAGING FAULT CONDITIONS IN THE SAME, POINT-OF-LOAD REGULATOR FOR USE IN THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR PROGRAMMING THE SAME

摘要

The invention each group as a power supply control system including a plurality of power control groups comprises a plurality of individual load point regulator providing a regulated voltage output, respectively. The load point regulator can be selected to include a power control group based on the characteristics of the load point load regulator. Intermediate bus controller is connected to the power control group through a common serial data bus interface and the OK status line for each of the groups in each group. Front ends regulators respectively provided to the plurality of power control groups and the intermediate bus controller. It said plurality of load point adjuster of each group includes an error manager to detect an error condition, and optionally some of the plurality of communication to notify the load point of the intermediate group and the bus controller of the error condition. In this way, a common response to the error condition is handled by the regulator load point of the group and another group. The method for managing errors in the power control system is provided. ; Error, the power control system, the load, intermediate bus,
