Abstract:
A three phase coupled filter inductor core of a low reluctance material consists of two matching parts joined to create closed magnetic flux paths, at least one part having a planar base portion and four parallel pillars extending from a surface of the planar base, three of the pillars are spaced by a same radial distance, from the axis of a fourth pillar, centered on the planar base. A coupled three phase filter inductor for a synchronous interleaved multiphase DC-DC buck converter, includes at least three phase coils wound on the three spaced pillars of the coupled inductor core and oriented in a way to establish an inverse magnetic coupling of any one of the three phase coils with the other two coils.
Abstract:
A switching voltage regulator adapted for providing a regulated voltage (Vout) at an output terminal (OUT) is described which comprises at least one MOS transistor (M2, 102) having a non-drivable terminal coupled with said output terminal (OUT) and a control circuit (1-3, 103) receiving a signal (Ifb, Iout1) that is representative of the current signal flowing in said MOS transistor (M2, 102). The control circuit (1-3, 103) comprises a compensation device (9) adapted for cancelling the thermal variation of said signal (Ifb, Iout1) that is representative of the current signal flowing in said MOS transistor (M2, 102).
