Abstract:
Each phase of a multi-phase voltage converter includes a power stage, passive circuit, and synchronous rectification (SR) switch. Each passive circuit couples its associated power stage to an output node of the voltage converter, and is switchably coupled to ground by the SR switch. The current through the SR switch has a half-cycle sinusoidal shape with a resonant frequency determined by the reactance of the passive circuit. A control circuit generates signals to control switches within the power stage and the SR switches. The control circuit measures current through the SR switch of each phase, and adjusts the duty cycles of the control signals for the phases so that the SR switches are switched off when zero or almost zero current is flowing through them.
