    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to communicating fault event information between power supply devices. In an example, a fault event communication system can include a comparator that can be coupled to a node that can have a shared bus voltage established by current sharing circuitry. The comparator can compare the shared bus voltage to a reference voltage and output a fault alert signal based on the comparison to alert a respective power supply device that another power supply device is experiencing a fault event. The system can include logic circuitry that can initiate a timer for a time interval in response to receiving the fault alert signal. The logic circuitry can determine a type of fault event at the respective power supply device based on the fault alert signal and duration of time that has elapsed since initiating the timer.

    Abstract: A power controller that includes first and second buck controllers and a power balancer. The first buck controller is configured to receive a first power rail at a first voltage and generate a first output signal. The second buck controller is configured to receive a second power rail at a second voltage and generate a second output signal. The power balancer is configured to receive an average current for the output signals and generate, based on the average current, a reference voltage to be received by the second buck controller. The output signals are combined to create a output power rail such that the first buck controller functions as a voltage source for the output power rail and the second buck controller controls, based on the reference voltage, an amount of current in the output power rail received from each of the buck controllers.

    Abstract: A multi-phase buck voltage regulator includes first and second buck converters, first and second low pass filters, and a current balancing loop circuit. The first buck converter includes a first pair of power transistors and a first switch node. The second buck converter includes a second pair of power transistors and a second switch node. The low pass filters are coupled to their respective switch nodes. The current balancing loop circuit receives a filtered output of each filter. The current balancing loop generates a current balancing current signal to control a gain of a first voltage-to-current converter for the second buck converter. The duty cycle of the second buck converter is thereby adjusted, which in turn adjusts a current of the second buck converter to become closer to a current of the first buck converter.
