Embodiment Construction
[0019] figure 1 An n-phase buck converter 10 according to an embodiment of the invention is shown. figure 1 In the example, the buck converter 10 includes a plurality (for example, n) of circuits 12 connected to an n-phase controller 20 . Each circuit 12 includes a control transistor such as MOSFET 14, a synchronous transistor such as MOSFET 16, and an inductor 18 to generate an output current IL representing one phase of the n-phase buck converter. Although MOSFETs 14 and 16 are shown as n-type MOSFETs, they could also be p-type MOSFETs.
[0020] To operate each circuit 12, the controller 20 turns on the control transistor 14 to connect the input Vin to the inductor 18 to charge the inductor. After the inductor is charged, control 20 turns off control transistor 14 to disconnect Vin from inductor 18 and turns on transistor 16 to provide a current path and discharge the inductor current to the load. As detailed below, the inductor currents originating from n circuits 12 can...
