A switching converter according includes a control arrangement to furnish a control signal dependent on the output voltage, as well as a first and at least one second converter stage. Each converter includes an inductive storage element, a ramp signal generator to furnish a signal having a ramp slope, a pulse width modulator which receives the control signal and the ramplike signal and which furnishes a pulse width modulated signal, and a driver circuit which receives the pulse width modulated signal and the input voltage and which applies the input voltage to the inductive storage element depending on the pulse width modulated signal. The ramp slope of the ramplike signal of the at least one second converter stage is adjustable. The ramp signal generator of the second converter stage receives a calibration signal which depends on the inductance of the inductive storage element of the first converter stage.

A switching converter includes a control arrangement and multiple converter stages. The control arrangement generates a control signal dependent on the output voltage. Each converter stage includes an inductive storage element, a current measurement arrangement that detects a current across the inductive storage element and furnishes a current measuring signal proportional to this current, a pulse width modulator that receives the control signal and the current measuring signal and generates a PWM signal, and a driver circuit that applies the input voltage to the inductive storage element in dependence on the PWM signal. The current measurement arrangement of a second converter stage adjusts a proportionality factor between the current across the inductive storage element and the current measurement signal thereof, responsive to an adjustment signal that is dependent on a proportionality factor between a current across the inductive storage element and the current measuring signal of a first converter stage.
