Abstract
A circuit may be configured detect current in different phases of an N-phase power converter. The circuit may comprise a first set of elements defining at least part of a first current loop associated with a first phase of the power converter, wherein the first set of elements is configured to detect current during the first phase of the power converter. In addition, the circuit may comprise a second set of elements defining at least part of a second current loop associated with a second phase of the power converter, wherein the second set of elements is configured to detect current during the second phase of the power converter when a duty cycle associated with the different phases is greater than 100/N, and wherein the first set of elements is configured to detect current during the second phase of the power converter when the duty cycle is less than 100/N.
