Abstract
Self-calibrating slope compensation in multi-phase DC-DC converters is discussed. In some embodiments, a slope compensation circuit comprises a reference generator configured to output a reference ramp and a bias signal, where the bias signal is usable by each of a plurality of ramp generators to provide a replica ramp to a power block of a multi-phase DC-DC converter; and control loop logic coupled to the reference generator and configured to produce a feedback signal based upon the reference ramp, where the reference generator is configured to modify a current of the bias signal based upon the feedback signal.
