Abstract
Power control systems and power control devices may include a power control chip having a power control module configured to generate a power stage control signal, and at least one power stage having a timing control module that is physically separate from the power control module. The timing control module may be configured to receive the power stage control signal and generate a timing control signal controlling at least one switch to regulate an output voltage of the at least one power stage. A related method may include generating power stage control information indicating an offset between an output voltage and a desired regulated output voltage, transmitting the power stage control information between modules that are physically separate, and timing signals for controlling a switching converter to regulate the output voltage. A related method of auto-configuring a power control system is also disclosed.
