An apparatus including a first circuit and a second circuit. The first circuit may generate an output signal with a regulated voltage and maintain a constant switch frequency having a first on time and a first off time. The second circuit may generate a shifted signal based on a phase delay with respect to the output signal and maintain a shifted frequency having a second on time and a second off time. The second on time may follow the first on time by the phase delay. The second on time may be based on the first on time and transient conditions of a load. The apparatus may implement an automatic phase shift adjustment. A current sensing comparison may implement a cycle-by-cycle comparison between the output signal and the shifted signal to determine the second on time and perform a tuning operation to achieve inductor current balancing.
