Abstract:
A method of regulating voltage includes closing first and second switching devices during first and second periods in response to first and second signals, respectively. The first and second switching devices open and close to connect and disconnect first ends of first and second inductors of first and second phases of a voltage regulator to and from an input voltage, respectively. The method includes selectively generating one of the first and second signals when a third signal is in a first state; selectively setting the third signal to the first state based on a ramp voltage; resetting the ramp voltage to a predetermined reset voltage when the third signal transitions from a second state to the first state; maintaining the ramp voltage at the predetermined reset voltage for a predetermined ramp reset period after the resetting; and increasing the ramp voltage after the predetermined ramp reset period.
