The two constant frequency voltage-mode PWM phases are configured as a single biphase high current output core supply. In biphase operation, the high current (>25A) output is generated by a LoadSHARETM† technique that balances the currents in the two phases. Power loss and noise, due to the ESR of the input capacitors, are minimized by operating the PWMs 180° out of phase. A synchronized Transient Correction Loop† provides exceptional control of the output droop and overshoot during very high di/dt load changes, the circuit can be configured for droop only, overshoot only or both. This architecture also minimizes capacitor requirements while maximizing regulator response. A true differential input amplifier is used for remote voltage sensing at th...
