Abstract :
A gradient power architecture concept with non-uniform current/power sharing is presented in this paper. A voltage regulator with this concept is designed, analyzed, and experimented. This scheme results in improved efficiency especially at lighter loads and the ability to control steady-state and dynamic performance especially when some of the phases are turned OFF at lighter loads
