Abstract:
A method is described fur- controlling a converter of the multiphase interleaving type comprising the steps of: - detecting when a change of the load applied to an output terminal of the converter occurs by detecting the derivative of a voltage signal of the output terminal; - simultaneously driving all the phases of said converter by zeroing a driving interleaving phase shift on the basis of said detected load transient; and - recovering said driving interleaving phase shift for restarting a normal operation of said converter. A controller is also described for carrying out this method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a control circuit (21) of a current sharing bus (CSB) integrated in signal regulator modules, particularly voltage regulator modules (VRM), the circuit (21) being of the Average Program (AP) type. Advantageously, according to the invention, the circuit (21) comprises a voltage regulator module (VRMi), comprising an operational transductance amplifier (OTAi); a first current generator (Gi1), connected to a first input terminal (Pi) of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTAi); a second current generator (Gi2) connected to a second input (Ni) of the operational transconductance amplifier (OTAi). The operational transconductance amplifier (OTAi) is directly driven by currents Ii generated by the first current generator Gi1 and second current generator Gi2.

A method is described for controlling a converter of the multiphase interleaving type comprising the steps of: - detecting when a change of the load applied to an output terminal of the converter occurs; - simultaneously turning off all the phases of the converter; and - recovering a driving interleaving phase shift for restarting a normal operation of the converter. A controller is also described for carrying out this method.
