Abstract
A power converter comprises a regulator, a value-supply system arranged for collecting at least one operating point of the power converter, and a predictor operative to produce updated regulator parameters (such as one or more power supply coefficients) implemented by the regulator to produce an output voltage to power a load. The updated regulator parameters are determined using a process based on the at least one collected operating point samples and predictor parameters obtained from a machine-learning process.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a voltage regulator operative to convert an input voltage into an output voltage;
- a storage resource operative to store map information that provides a mapping between prior operational states of the voltage regulator and respective sets of control values that control the voltage regulator;
- and
- a controller operative to:
- i) receive current operational states of the voltage regulator;
- ii) via the map information, map the current operational states to a corresponding set of control values;
- and
- iii) apply the corresponding set of control values to the voltage regulator.
5 more elements
A method comprising:
- storing map information in a repository, the map information providing a mapping between prior operational states of a voltage regulator and respective sets of control values that were previously implemented to control the voltage regulator;
- receiving current operational states of the voltage regulator;
- via the map information, mapping the current operational states to a corresponding set of control values;
- and
- applying the corresponding set of control values to the voltage regulator to convert an input voltage into an output voltage.
