Abstract
One or more of the present embodiments allows multiple controllers to be automatically configured as a single or multi-rail voltage regulator system using a local bus that can communicate between controllers with a minimal set of pinstraps. This allows the system to be configured with a reduced set of configuration pins and without the need for stored configurations in the controller's own memory or configurations performed by an external host.
