Patent Images
1. A voltage regulator having a plurality of predetermined configurations, comprising:
- a measurement circuit to measure an electrical characteristic of at least one external impedance and to determine a digital value corresponding to the measured electrical characteristic;
an address generator to convert the digital value to a first digital address corresponding to a memory location having contents, wherein each of the contents corresponds to a respective one of the predetermined configurations; and
a controller to configure the voltage regulator based on the contents of the memory location corresponding to the first digital address.

Abstract
A voltage regulator has a plurality of predetermined configurations and comprises a measurement circuit to measure an electrical characteristic of at least one external impedance and to determine a digital value corresponding to the measured electrical characteristic. An address generator converts the digital value to a first digital address corresponding to a memory location having contents. Each of the contents corresponds to a respective one of the predetermined configurations. A controller configures the voltage regulator based on the contents of the memory location corresponding to the first digital address.
