System and method for an interleaved multi-stage phase array voltage regulator

摘要

In accordance with the present disclosure, a system and method for an interleaved, multi-stage phase array voltage regulator is described. The interleaved, multi-stage phase array voltage regulator includes a first phase array with a plurality of first power stages and a second phase array with a plurality of second power stages. The interleaved, multi-stage phase array voltage regulator may also include a voltage control loop that at least partially controls a duty cycle of the first phase array and the second phase array. Also, the interleaved, multi-stage phase array voltage regulator may include a current control loop that at least partially controls which of the plurality of first power stages and second power stages are active.

主权项

1. An interleaved, multi-stage phase array voltage regulator, comprising:
a first phase array, wherein the first phase array includes a plurality of first power stages; a second phase array, wherein the second phase array includes a plurality of second power stages; a voltage control loop, wherein the voltage control loop at least partially controls a duty cycle of the first phase array and the second phase array, and wherein the duty cycle is controlled so as to trigger each of the first phase array and the second phase array even when less than full output is required; and a current control loop, wherein the current control loop at least partially controls which of the plurality of first power stages and second power stages are active.
