Abstract: In described examples of methods and control circuitry to control a power conversion system, a regulator circuit is coupled to provide switching control signals according to a regulation signal to operate a plurality of converter switches to generate a voltage signal at a switching node. A compensation sense circuit is coupled to provide a compensation pulse signal having a duty cycle that represents a percentage of time that a current flowing through the switching node is above a threshold value. A current compensation circuit adjusts the regulation signal according to the compensation pulse signal.

Abstract: In described examples of methods and control circuitry to control a multi-level power conversion system with a flying capacitor, a power circuit regulates a regulator input voltage signal to provide a supply voltage signal to the control circuitry. A power switching circuit couples the regulator input to a first terminal of the flying capacitor in response to a second terminal of the flying capacitor being coupled to a reference voltage node in a given switching cycle, and couples the regulator input to the second terminal in response to the first terminal being coupled to an input node of the power conversion system in the given switching cycle.

Abstract: Current regulation circuits and techniques. In one example, a circuit includes a voltage regulator circuit, current sensing circuitry, and a current control loop. The voltage regulator circuit is coupled to an output terminal of a DC-DC power converter and configured to produce a regulation signal based on a voltage at a regulator input terminal. The current sensing circuitry is coupled to a switching terminal of the DC-DC power converter and configured to produce a pulse signal based on a voltage at the switching input terminal and a threshold set by the regulation signal. The current control loop is coupled to control terminals of switching transistors of the DC-DC power converter and configured to generate switching control signals, based on the pulse signal, to control the switching transistors to drive an average value of a current flowing through the switching terminal to a target average current value corresponding to the threshold.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a multiphase converter design with multi-path phase management circuit and output logic. The phase management circuit and output logic can be employed to implement phase adding and shedding operations based on input and output current information and based on control signals for a power stage of the converter. In some examples, the design employs an estimate of an average output current based on a current at an input of the converter for phase control. In additional examples, the design employs cycle-by-cycle current limit and maximum duty-cycle signals to enable phase quickly during load transient. In further examples, the design employs low input and output-current sensed signals for efficient phase shedding and power saving. The design herein improves an overall accuracy of phase adding and shedding, load transient response performance, an operational efficiency and thermal performance of multiphase converter.
