Abstract
A multiphase controller includes an integrator enable terminal, a pulse width modulator, an error integrator, an open drain driver, and an integrator enable circuit. The integrator enable terminal is adapted to be coupled to the integrator enable terminal of a different instance of the multiphase controller. The pulse width modulator is configured to modulate a power stage. The error integrator is configured to control the pulse width modulator. The open drain driver is coupled to the integrator enable circuit. The integrator enable circuit is coupled to the pulse width modulator, the error integrator, the open drain driver, and the integrator enable terminal. The integrator enable circuit is configured to activate the open drain driver responsive to generation of a power stage control pulse by the pulse width modulator, and activate the error integrator responsive to a logic low signal at the integrator enable terminal.
