Methods and systems for defective phase identification and current sense calibration for multi-phase voltage regulator circuits
Abstract:
Methods and systems are disclosed that may be implemented to complete individual phase current sense calibration of a multi-phase voltage regulator (VR) and/or to detect any and all individual bad phases of such a VR by utilizing the reconfiguration capability of a digital VR controller-based VR in conjunction with an improved test process. The disclosed systems and methods may be employed in one example to identify that all individual phases of the multi-phase VR are operational to contribute to the output of the multi-phase VR using a rotating single phase operation testing mode. Individual phase current sense calibration may also be additionally or alternatively completed while the VR is operating under the rotating single phase operation mode.
