I'm a patent researcher looking for examples, before 2002, of
controlling a point-of-load (POL) regulator by use of a microprocessor.
It is best decribed by the recent PMBus Protocol
(http://powerelectronics.com/mag/509PET20.pdf) In this case, a serial
bus is used to communicate between a power controller and a POL
regulator. The power controller is actually performing calculations
instead of merely enabling/disabling or monitoring. I'm happy to
clarify or answer any questions you may have. For additional info you
can look at US patent 6,949,916; I believe what is discussed in this
patent actually existed before 2002. Any assistance would be
appreciated.
