Predicting Individual Phase Current in Couple Inductor Based Voltage Regulators (VRs) ()
Abstract
Coupled inductor is one appealing
technology to improve transient response and reduce output decoupling
significantly in interleaved multi-phase voltage regulators (VRs). One known
problem is that there is no mature solution yet to sense the individual phase
current accurately in a lossless way for couple inductor based VRs design. This
will impact VR some normal function in one phase mode. This paper proposes a
new solution to this problem and simulation is conducted to verify
effectiveness of the proposal.
