  • Patent number: 11888393
    Abstract: A multiphase controller includes an integrator enable terminal, a pulse width modulator, an error integrator, an open drain driver, and an integrator enable circuit. The integrator enable terminal is adapted to be coupled to the integrator enable terminal of a different instance of the multiphase controller. The pulse width modulator is configured to modulate a power stage. The error integrator is configured to control the pulse width modulator. The open drain driver is coupled to the integrator enable circuit. The integrator enable circuit is coupled to the pulse width modulator, the error integrator, the open drain driver, and the integrator enable terminal. The integrator enable circuit is configured to activate the open drain driver responsive to generation of a power stage control pulse by the pulse width modulator, and activate the error integrator responsive to a logic low signal at the integrator enable terminal.

  • Patent number: 11411387
    Abstract: An over/under voltage protection circuit includes a voltage input terminal, a digital-to analog converter, a comparator, and a control circuit. The comparator includes a first input coupled to an output of the digital-to-analog converter, and a second input coupled to the voltage input terminal. The control circuit includes an output coupled to an input of the digital-to-analog converter, and an input coupled to an output of the comparator. The control circuit is configured to set the digital-to-analog converter to generate an overvoltage fault threshold responsive to the output of the comparator indicating that voltage of a signal at the voltage input terminal exceeds a threshold currently generated by the digital-to-analog converter.

  • Patent number: 11294411
    Abstract: A power stage controller includes: a multi-phase pulse control circuit; a current sense circuit; a comparator; an error amplifier; and a mode controller. The mode controller includes a mode controller input and a summation circuit. The summation circuit has a first summation circuit input, a second summation circuit input and a summation circuit output, the first summation circuit input is coupled to the error amplifier output, and the summation circuit output is coupled to the first comparator input. The mode controller is configured to: select one of a main controller mode or a secondary controller mode responsive to a mode control voltage at the mode controller input; bypass the summation circuit responsive to selection of the main controller mode; and enable the summation circuit responsive to selection of the secondary controller mode.
