  • Patent number: 7538527
    Abstract: A power converter is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the power converter includes a first stage including a current source for generating a current signal, and a second stage. The second stage includes n output circuits coupled to the current source for converting the current signal into n corresponding output voltages. Each of the n output circuits includes an output switch responsive to a corresponding nth control signal for regulating the corresponding nth output voltage. The second stage further includes a controller for generating the n control signals. The controller includes, for each of the n output circuits, an error amplifier, a waveform generator, and a summing circuit. Each error amplifier generates an output signal based upon a comparison of the output voltage of the nth output circuit and a corresponding nth reference voltage. Each waveform generator generates a waveform signal.
