发明名称 Manual multi-phase voltage control
摘要 Aspects of manual multi-phase voltage control are described. In one embodiment, a voltage regulator controller includes switches for coupling power from an energized phase to a de-energized phase. For example, the voltage regulator controller may include a first power switch electrically coupled to drive circuitry of a first voltage regulator, a first phase output voltage of a multi-phase power delivery system, and a second phase output voltage of the multi-phase power delivery system. In certain aspects, the first power switch selectively toggles an electrical coupling between the drive circuitry of the first voltage regulator and one of the first phase output voltage and the second phase output voltage. Powering a voltage regulator of a de-energized phase with power from an energized phase may peg the operation of the voltage regulator, as necessary, to maintain the balance of the power distribution system, for example.

主权项 1. A multi-phase voltage regulator controller, comprising: a first switch of a relay; and a first power switch comprising a common pole, a first pole, and a second pole, the common pole of the first power switch being electrically coupled to drive circuitry of a first voltage regulator of a multi-phase power delivery system, the first pole of the first power switch being electrically coupled to a first phase output voltage of the multi-phase power delivery system, and the second pole of the first power switch being electrically coupled to a common pole of the first switch of the relay, wherein the first phase output voltage of the multi-phase power delivery system and a voltage other than the first phase output voltage of the multi-phase power delivery system are each selectable via the first power switch to power the drive circuitry of the first voltage regulator through the first power switch.
