METHODS AND SYSTEMS OF A MULTI-PHASE SWITCHING POWER CONVERTER

Multi-phase switching power converter. At least one example is a method of operating a multi-phase power converter, the method comprising: operating, by a voltage regulator, a first phase of the multi-phase power converter at a frequency and a first phase-relationship, the first phase comprising fir...

Zusammenfassung:Multi-phase switching power converter. At least one example is a method of operating a multi-phase power converter, the method comprising: operating, by a voltage regulator, a first phase of the multi-phase power converter at a frequency and a first phase-relationship, the first phase comprising first and second power modules; operating, by the voltage regulator, a second phase of the multi-phase power converter at the frequency and a second phase-relationship different than the first phase-relationship, the second phase comprising third and fourth power modules; at least partially balancing current, by the voltage regulator, as between the first phase and the second phase by controlling a first or second duty cycles, respectively; and at least partially balancing current as between the first and second power modules of the first phase based on a local-sharing signal coupled between the first and second power modules.
