Abstract:
A DC-DC converter circuit including at least: a first step down converter having a first pair of switching devices in a half bridge configuration. A second step down converter includes a second pair of switching devices in a half bridge configuration. The first and second step down converters are connected in parallel to an output node connected to an output coil and receive command signals. A feedback loop includes a synchronization module receiving the gate control signals of high side switching devices and adjusts as a function of the gate control signals a delay in a signal path from the command signal to each gate control signal of the high side switching device to synchronize the gate control signals.

Claim (Index 2):
The DC-DC converter circuit of  claim 1 , wherein said synchronization module further comprises:\n a detector circuit configured to sense rising edges of the control signals and configured to generate a pair of sense signals in response to the sensed rising edges of the control signals, each sense signal indicating the rising edge of a corresponding one of the control signals; a difference integration circuit configured to calculate a difference between said sense signals and to integrate said difference to generate a delay control signal; and an adjustable differential delay circuit coupled to receive said delay control signal and configured to modify, under control of the delay control signal, the respective delay in the respective signal path from the high side logical command signal to each control signal of the high side switching devices to synchronize said rising edges of the control signals.
