Abstract
A switching converter includes a power stage and a controller. The power stage drives a current through an inductance in a duration specified by a control signal. The phase controller generates the control signal to cause the power stage to generate a regulated supply voltage. The power stage is designed to communicate with the phase controller on a path. The power stage includes a first sub-stage and a second sub-stage that respectively drive a first sub-current and a second sub-current via corresponding inductors in response to the control signal. The corresponding inductors together operate to provide the inductance. The path is used for communication between the first sub-stage and the phase controller, and then between the second sub-stage and the phase controller in alternate cycles of the control signal.
