Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a digital integrated circuit (IC) capable of generating PWM control signals for up to four switching DC/DC power converters. For parallel multi-converter applications, the circuit implements the synchronized voltage mode control. The use of the circuit for controlling a power supply system consisting of four parallel connected buck power converters is described
