Phase shift error mitigation for power converters with coupled inductors
A power converter circuit that includes multiple phase circuits may employ coupled inductors to generate a particular voltage level on a regulated power supply node. In response to an initiation of an active time period, the phase circuits cycle, out of phase with each other, between on-times and of...

Zusammenfassung: | A power converter circuit that includes multiple phase circuits may employ coupled inductors to generate a particular voltage level on a regulated power supply node. In response to an initiation of an active time period, the phase circuits cycle, out of phase with each other, between on-times and off-times. To maintain the phase relationship between the operation of the phase circuits, each phase circuit generates a ramp current that is compared to the current flowing in its corresponding inductor and then halts an off-time based on a result of the comparison. |
