    摘要: A phase doubler driver circuit includes first control logic generates a first output PWM drive signal and a second output PWM drive signal responsive to an input PWM drive signal. In a first mode of operation, alternating pulses of the input PWM drive are output as the first output PWM drive signal and the second PWM output drive signal respectively. In a second mode of operation, the input PWM drive signal is provided as the first output PWM drive signal when a second phase current associated with the second output PWM drive signal exceeds a first phase current associated with the first output PWM drive signal and the input PWM drive signal is provided as the second output PWM drive signal when the phase current associated with the first output PWM signal exceed the phase current associated with the second output PWM signal. Second control logic adds an offset to a falling edge of the first output PWM drive signal responsive to a difference between a first current associated with the first phase current and an average current and for adding the offset to a falling edge of the second output PWM signal responsive to a difference between a second current associated with the second phase current.

    摘要: A phase doubler driver circuit includes a first input for receiving a input PWM drive signal. First control logic generates a first output PWM drive signal and a second output PWM drive signal responsive to the input PWM drive signal.

Drive circuitry generates drive signals responsive to each of the first output PWM drive signal and the second output PWM drive signal.

    摘要: Pulse width modulation (PWM) controllers and output stage driver circuits and related methods of communicating switching regulator mode information. The controller includes circuitry that recognizes intervals when the load driven by the regulator is in a low power mode. Responsive to recognizing the low power mode, the controller generates a PWM mode signal having at least three (3) different levels including at least one intermediate level that is coupled to at least one driver. Based on the PWM mode signal, the regulator is switched into a power saving low power operational mode.
