Abstract
A controller for a multiphase switching converter has a feedback pin, a reference pin, and a plurality of switching control pins. When the controller is a master controller, the reference pin provides a reference output signal based on a plurality of currents flowing through a plurality of switching circuits. When the controller is a slave controller, the feedback pin receives the reference output signal from the master controller, and the slave controller provides the plurality of switching control signals based on the plurality of currents flowing through the plurality of switching circuits, the reference output signal, and a feedback signal representative of an output voltage of the multiphase switching converter.
