Abstract

A controller for a multiphase switching converter has a logic circuit, to provide a plurality of switching control signals to control the plurality of switching circuits. When as a master controller, the controller provides a first total current signal based on a sum of a plurality of currents flowing through the plurality of switching circuits. When as a slave controller, the controller receives the first total current signal, provides a second total current signal based on the sum of the plurality of currents flowing through the plurality of switching circuits, and turns on the plurality of switching circuits in sequence based on the first total current signal and the second total current signal.
