Abstract:
A system is disclosed which allows for a multiphase Buck switching converter, where some phases operate in peak-mode current control, and some phases operate in valley-mode current control, simultaneously with the peak-mode phases. The peak-mode phases of the switching converter operate at lower frequency, and with a higher value inductor than the valley mode phases. The peak-mode phases support discontinuous control mode (DCM) operation and continuous control mode (CCM) operation, and the valley-mode phases only support CCM operation. The peak-mode phases of the switching converter are always enabled, and the valley-mode phases are only enabled at high currents. The peak-mode and valley-mode currents are matched with a peak current servo, for better efficiency.
