A current multiplier/divider-configured, feed-forward compensation circuit for a pulse width modulator (PWM) controller for a buck-mode DC-DC converter is operative to achieve constant loop gain irrespective of the magnitude of the input voltage, obviates the need for parameter calculations/adjustments of circuit components to conform with the PWM frequency selected by the user, and is effectively immune to variations in temperature and manufacturing process.

Current multiplier/divider-configured feed-forward compensation for buck-mode converter controller with programmed switching frequency

An IC incorporating a multiphase voltage converter with synchronized phase shift including a phase shift pin, a frequency select pin, a master clock pin, and a voltage regulator. The phase shift pin is coupled to a first voltage for a master mode or a first resistor for a slave mode. The frequency select pin is coupled to one of a second voltage and a second resistor. The master clock pin provides a master clock signal or receives an external clock signal. The IC provides the master clock signal at a frequency determined by the second resistor or otherwise at a default frequency. The voltage regulator operates in the slave mode at a phase shift relative to the external clock signal based on the first resistor and the second resistor or based on the first resistor and a default resistance if the second voltage is coupled.
