Abstract: A system includes a load and a switching converter coupled to the load. The switching converter includes at least one switching module and an output inductor coupled to a switch node of each switching module. The switching converter also includes a controller coupled to each switching module, where the controller is configured to adjust a pulse clock rate and a switch on-time for each switching module. The controller comprises a pulse truncation circuit configured to detect a voltage overshoot condition and to truncate an active switch on-time pulse in response to the detected voltage overshoot condition.

Abstract: An example circuit includes a loop controller having current phase inputs, a feedback input, a control loop output and a transient event output. The feedback input is adapted to be coupled to an output terminal of a multi-phase power stage. A PWM circuit has a blanking input, a control input and a PWM output, the control input coupled to the control loop output. A phase management circuit has a transient detect input, a PWM input, a blanking output and phase outputs. The transient detect input is coupled to the transient event output. The PWM input is coupled to the PWM output and the blanking output is coupled to the blanking input. Each of the phase outputs is adapted to be coupled to a respective phase of the multi-phase power stage. The phase management circuit is configured to provide a blanking control signal representative of a variable blanking time.

Abstract: In some examples, a circuit includes a state machine. The state machine is configured to operate in a first state in which the state machine gates a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal provided for control of a power converter according to a first signal provided by a voltage control loop. The state machine is configured to operate in a second state in which the state machine gates the PWM signal according to a second signal provided by a current limit comparator. The state machine is configured to transition from the first state to the second state responsive to the second signal being asserted after the first signal is asserted in a switching cycle of the power converter. The state machine is configured to transition from the current state to the first state responsive to the first signal being asserted after the second signal in a switching cycle of the power converter.

Abstract: In described examples of a system having a proportional-integral control module, an error signal is produced that is indicative of a difference between a reference signal and an output signal. An integral control signal is produced by integrating the error signal using an integrator time constant value. During a steady state condition, a first integrator time constant value is used. When an undershoot in the output signal is detected, the integrator time constant value is increased to a second time constant value that is larger than the first integrator time constant value during the undershoot condition. The integrator time constant value is reduced to a third integrator time constant value that is less than the first integrator time constant value during a period following the undershoot condition.

Abstract: Described embodiments include a comparator circuit comprising an input voltage terminal, a reference voltage terminal, and a rising edge decode circuit having inputs coupled to the input voltage terminal and the reference voltage terminal. The rising edge output provides a rising edge decode signal indicating the input signal transitioned from being smaller than the reference voltage signal to being larger than the reference voltage signal. A falling edge decode circuit has inputs coupled to the input voltage terminal and the reference voltage terminal, and a falling edge output providing a falling edge decode signal indicating that the input signal transitioned from being larger than the reference voltage signal to being smaller than the reference voltage signal. Also, a decode logic circuit provides a comparator output in response to the rising edge decode signal and the falling edge decode signal.

Abstract: In described examples, a controller includes a converter. The converter generates a first signal responsive to an input signal. A summing block is coupled to the converter. The summing block receives the first signal and generates a second signal. A limiter is coupled to the summing block and generates a third signal responsive to the second signal and a code signal. A logic block generates a target signal responsive to the third signal. The third signal transitions to an intermediate level at a first slew rate and the third signal transitions from the intermediate level to the target signal at a second slew rate.

Abstract: An example non-transitory machine-readable storage medium includes instructions that, when executed, configure processor circuitry to at least: determine a first delay corresponding to an amount of time for a first pulse to reach first phase circuitry; determine a second delay corresponding to an amount of time for a second pulse to reach second phase circuitry; determine a third delay corresponding to an amount of time for a third pulse to reach third phase circuitry, wherein one or more of the first phase circuitry, the second phase circuitry, and the third phase circuitry are located a non-uniform distance from the processor circuitry; and transmit, based on the delays, the pulses to the respective phase circuitry such that a first time period between the first pulse and the second pulse is equal to a second time period between the second pulse and the third pulse.

Abstract: In an example, a method includes storing a pending PWM pulse for a switching voltage regulator. The method also includes determining a switching voltage regulator is operating in a current limit mode, where an inductor current is above a current limit threshold.
