As logic systems get larger and more complex, their supply current requirements continue to rise. Systems requiring 100A are fairly common. A high current power supply to meet such requirements usually requires paralleling several power regulators to alleviate the thermal stress on the individual power components. A power supply designer is left with the choice of how to drive these paralleled regulators: brute-force single-phase or smart PolyPhase™.
A PolyPhase converter interleaves the clock signals of the paralleled power stages, reducing input and output ripple current without increasing the switching frequency. The decreased power loss ...
