`U.S. Patent No. 8,477,514 – Dell LA90PM170
`
`Claim 6
`A (SYS) power system, comprising:
`a (PSC) power system controller configured to provide a (COM) signal characterizing a (PREQ) power
`requirement of a (PRO) processor system; and
`a (PC) power converter coupled to said (PRO) processor system, comprising:
`a (PS) power switch configured to conduct for a (DC) duty cycle to provide an (OC) output characteristic at an
`(OUT) output thereof, and
`a (CON) power converter controller configured to receive a (COM) signal from said (PSC) power system
`controller to control an (IOC) internal operating characteristic of said (PC) power converter as a function of
`said (COM) signal.
`
`Claim 7
`The (SYS) power system as recited in claim 6 wherein
`said (CON) power converter controller is further configured to provide another (OS) signal to control said (DC)
`duty cycle of said (PS) power switch as a function of said (OC) output characteristic and in accordance with
`said (COM) signal.
`
`Claim 8
`The (SYS) power system as recited in claim 6 wherein said (CON) power converter controller is configured to
`adjust said (IOC) internal operating characteristic over a (TTIM) period of time.
`
`Claim 10
`The (SYS) power system as recited in claim 6 wherein said (IOC) internal operating characteristic is selected
`from the group consisting of:
`a (GDV) gate drive voltage level of said (PS) power switch of said (PC) power converter,
`a switching frequency of said (PC) power converter, and
`an (DCBV) internal direct current bus voltage of said (PC) power converter.
