Abstract
A method and a circuit of operating a multi-phase switching converter is presented. The circuit contains a plurality of phase circuits. The method includes setting an adaptive voltage positioning parameter of an adaptive voltage positioning controller and controlling an output voltage of the multi-phase switching converter using the adaptive voltage positioning controller. The method further includes generating a threshold voltage value based on the adaptive voltage positioning parameter, comparing the output voltage of the multi-phase switching converter with the threshold voltage value and performing at least one of enabling and disabling a phase circuit based on the comparison.
