Zusammenfassung:It is an object of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure to provide a Multiple-Inductor Multiple-Output (MIMO) switching converter to supply several different output voltages. The combination of this MIMO converter with a booster circuit supplies one or more individual cores with current that bypasses the parasitic network. The booster circuit has a wider bandwidth or a faster response when compared to the main MIMO switching converter. The MIMO booster circuit can supply a number of cores with only a single set of shared inductors. The main advantages include a lower component count and a reduced printed circuit board footprint to support multiple cores in a Multiple-Inductor Multiple-Output. The present disclosure makes use of the low duty-cycle of the power peaks and the low statistical likelihood of these peaks occurring for all cores simultaneously.
