Abstract
An apparatus may determine a parameter related to a voltage value at a midpoint terminal of a system power device, and may adjust a voltage applied to a second terminal of the system power device based on the parameter and a reference value. The second terminal may be different from the midpoint terminal.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- using a first control method to adjust voltage applied to a first terminal of a system power device, the first control method comprising:
- determining current related to a second terminal of the system power device;
- comparing the current to a reference current value;
- if the determined current is less than the reference current value, increasing voltage applied to the first terminal of the system power device;
- and
- if the determined current is greater than the reference current value, decreasing the voltage applied to the first terminal of the system power device.
