Abstract: A DC-DC converter circuit including at least: a first step down converter having a first pair of switching devices in a half bridge configuration. A second step down converter includes a second pair of switching devices in a half bridge configuration. The first and second step down converters are connected in parallel to an output node connected to an output coil and receive command signals. A feedback loop includes a synchronization module receiving the gate control signals of high side switching devices and adjusts as a function of the gate control signals a delay in a signal path from the command signal to each gate control signal of the high side switching device to synchronize the gate control signals.

Abstract: A method manages hysteretic DC-DC buck converters each including a hysteretic comparator operating according to a respective hysteresis window. The method includes, in a given converter, verifying if a respective feedback voltage reaches a lower threshold in order to enter a switch-on period of the converter, The method comprises: while the verifying indicates that the lower threshold is not reached, detecting if another converter has entered a respective switch on period and, in the affirmative, entering a hysteresis voltage adjustment procedure, include increasing by a given amount the amplitude of the hysteresis window of the given converter by reducing the lower threshold of the hysteresis window.
