DC-to-DC converter controllers, DC-to-DC converters, and associated methods

Abstract:

A DC-to-DC converter controller configured to generate phase control signals to control a plurality of power stages of a DC-to-DC converter where each power stage includes two phases. The DC-to-DC converter controller is configured to generate the phase control signals in a manner which (a) balances magnitude of current processed among the two phases of each power stage and (b) balances magnitude of current processed among the plurality of power stages.
