Abstract
A multiphase buck converter that includes smart two-phase power stages for reducing switching losses. Each of the smart power stages includes a first high side switch, a second high side switch, a first low side switch, a second low side switch, a switching capacitor, a first inductor, and a second inductor. The exemplary multiphase buck converter includes two such smart power stages and a multiphase controller for generating PWM signals for driving the two smart power stages synchronously.
