    Abstract: One example includes a VID signal decoder circuit. The circuit includes a coarse resolution decoder that receives a VID signal. The VID signal can be encoded with a digital value of an output voltage. The coarse resolution decoder can decode the VID signal to generate a first digital signal. The circuit also includes a fine resolution decoder that receives the VID signal and to decode the VID signal to generate a second digital signal. The circuit further includes a multiplexer to provide the first digital signal as an output signal responsive to a first state of a selection signal and to provide the second digital signal as the output signal responsive to a second state of the selection signal. The first and second states of the selection signal can be based on a relative amplitude of the first and second digital signals.

    Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed, configure processor circuitry to at least: determine a first delay corresponding to an amount of time for a first pulse to reach first phase circuitry; determine a second delay corresponding to an amount of time for a second pulse to reach second phase circuitry; determine a third delay corresponding to an amount of time for a third pulse to reach third phase circuitry, wherein one or more of the first phase circuitry, the second phase circuitry, and the third phase circuitry are located a non-uniform distance from the processor circuitry; and transmit, based on the delays, the pulses to the respective phase circuitry such that a first time period between the first pulse and the second pulse is equal to a second time period between the second pulse and the third pulse.

    Abstract: A circuit includes a phase control logic, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and digital logic. The phase control logic is configured to couple to a plurality of power phases of a multi-phase power supply. The digital logic is configured to couple to the phase control logic and the ADC, to receive an instruction to operate in a self-calibration mode of operation, receive a first message including a value associated with a calibrated load configured to couple to the plurality of power phases, perform a self-calibration sub-routine for each power phase of the plurality of power phases based at least partially on the received instruction, the received first message, and a signal received from the ADC, and receive a second message instructing the digital logic to store a result of the self-calibration in a memory of the circuit.

    Abstract: In some examples, a circuit includes a state machine. The state machine is configured to operate in a first state in which the state machine gates a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal provided for control of a power converter according to a first signal provided by a voltage control loop. The state machine is configured to operate in a second state in which the state machine gates the PWM signal according to a second signal provided by a current limit comparator. The state machine is configured to transition from the first state to the second state responsive to the second signal being asserted after the first signal is asserted in a switching cycle of the power converter. The state machine is configured to transition from the current state to the first state responsive to the first signal being asserted after the second signal in a switching cycle of the power converter.
