While the invention is amenable to various modifications and alternative forms, specifics thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the intention is not to limit the invention to the particular embodiments described. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to electronic power supply, more particular aspects relate to voltage regulation management. While the present disclosure is not necessarily limited to such applications, various aspects of the disclosure may be appreciated through a discussion of various examples using this context.
Some high-performance electronic devices (hereinafter, “devices”), such as computer processors and application-specific integrated circuits (hereinafter, “ASICs”), have strict requirements for the voltage of power provided to the device. For example, a computer processor or ASIC may accept voltage between 0.6 volts (V) and 1.0 V. If current above 1.0 V or below 0.6 V is delivered to the processor or ASIC, it may temporarily malfunction, shut off, or be functionally destroyed. Thus, the voltage of the power provided to these high-performance electronic devices must be precisely controlled.
