Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 10:
11. A method comprising:
providing at least two voltage converter phases of a trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) with a common input voltage;
coupling an output of each converter phase to a first terminal of a primary winding of an coupled inductor of the TLVR, each coupled inductor including a secondary winding magnetically coupled to the primary winding;
for each primary winding, coupling a second terminal of the primary winding to a load;
coupling a first terminal of a compensation inductor of the TLVR to a ground plane, wherein the compensation inductor is a nonlinear inductor exhibiting a first inductance level at a first current level, and a second inductance level different from the first inductance level at a second current level different from the first current level;
coupling each secondary winding in series with the compensation inductor; and
coupling a last in series secondary winding to the ground plane.
