VOLTAGE SET POINT CONTROL SCHEME

摘要

A system and method is provided for determining a voltage output of a programmable power converter (200) based on programming voltage data received from one of a variety of alternate sources. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a control unit (210) is adapted to monitor a digital data serial interface (230), a digital data parallel interface (250), and an analog data interface (240) to determine whether programming voltage data has been received. If programming voltage data has been received, the data is used to determine an output voltage for the programmable power converter. If more than one set of programming voltage data has been received, a determination is made as to which set of data takes priority. The selected set of data is then used to determine an output voltage for the programmable power converter.
