Abstract
Some embodiments provide a multi-phase DC/DC switching converter in which each of the phases are controlled using a common comparator for comparing an output voltage of the switching converter and a reference voltage, with in some embodiments each of the phases including a bypass switch for coupling ends of an output inductor of the switching converter. Some embodiments provide a multi-phase DC/DC switching converter in which some of the phases are operated with clock signals having frequencies different than clock signals used for operating others of the phases. Some embodiments provide a multi-phase DC/DC switching converter in which some of the phases include inductors having inductances different than inductances for inductors of others of the phases.
