Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 19:
20. An information handling system, comprising:
a load; and
a trans-inductor voltage regulator (TLVR) including:
at least two voltage converter phases, each phase configured to receive a common input voltage and to provide an output voltage on an output of the voltage converter;
for each voltage converter phase, an associated coupled inductor including a primary winding and a secondary winding, the coupled inductor being magnetically coupled together, wherein for each primary winding, a first terminal of the primary winding is coupled to the output of the associated voltage converter, and a second terminal of the primary winding is coupled to the load; and
a compensation inductor, wherein a first terminal of the compensation inductor is coupled to a ground plane, each secondary winding being coupled in series with the compensation inductor, a last in series secondary winding being coupled to the ground plane, and 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.
