[0003] US Patent No. 6,362,986 to Schultz et al. describes switching direct-current-direct-current (DC-DC) converters with a multi-phase coupled-inductor topology, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Advantages of such a converter include reduced ripple current in the inductor and switches, which can reduce the inductance per phase and / or reduce the switching frequency on converters with traditional multiphase DC-DC converter topologies. Therefore, DC-DC converters with magnetically coupled inductors have excellent transient response without loss of efficiency compared to conve...
