Abstract: A machine learning based control scheme for a buck converter achieves fast and more energy efficient regulation of power supply change using a machine learning module that predicts upcoming supply droop or overshoot. The prediction results may be sent to a buck converter to provide power regulation in time so that the buck converter can mitigate the droop or overshoot. An event-based detection and reaction control circuit, serving as “safety net” may address mispredictions. The machine learning module may consider a microprocessor's internal operation states and earlier supply voltages. The event-based control circuit nay include both a fast droop response circuit and a slow droop response circuit that address different supply droop scenarios.
