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 1):
A DC-DC converter circuit, comprising:\n a first converter including at least one switching device including a first switching device configured to receive a first control signal; a second converter including at least one switching device including a second switching device configured to receive a second control signal, wherein said first and second converters are connected in parallel to a switching node configured to be connected to an output coil, and wherein said first and second converters receive a logical command signal; and a synchronization module configured to receive the first and second control signals of the first and second switching devices, said synchronization module configured to adjust as a function of said first and second control signals respective first and second delays in respective first and second signal paths from the logical command signal to each the first and second control signals to synchronize the first and second control signals.
