Abstract: A multi-phase controller is disclosed. The multi-phase controller includes a current-mode regulation circuit and a pulse distributor configured to distribute a first set of pulses to a first power stage and a second set of pulses to a second power stage, and to selectively enable or disable the second set of pulses to the second power stage based on the load condition. The multi-phase controller further includes a current-sense circuit coupled to receive a plurality of current-monitor signals from the plurality of power stages and configured to provide a summation signal to the current-mode regulation circuit based on the plurality of current-monitor signals, utilize a first current-monitor signal from the first power stage in place of a second current-monitor signal from the second power stage for a replacement period following a resumption of the second set of pulses to the second power stage.
