Abstract:
A circuit generates an output voltage from an input voltage and includes a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller. The PWM controller initiates a PWM pulse according to a first comparison that uses a Current Sense and Ramp (CSR) signal and an error signal. The PWM controller ends the PWM pulse according to a second comparison that uses the CSR signal and a threshold signal. The CSR signal is generated using a current sense signal and a ramp signal according to the input voltage. The error signal is generated from the output voltage and a reference voltage. In an embodiment, the circuit is one of a plurality of substantially identical modules, wherein one module is a master module. The master module generates an error signal used by each module. A clock input of each module is respectively connected to a clock output of another module to sequentially activate each of the modules.

Claim (Index 12):
The circuit of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n an comparator to generate the PWM pulse, the comparator having a negative input coupled to the CSR signal and a positive input couple to the first terminal of the resistor; and a switch coupled between the first terminal of the resistor and the error signal, wherein the comparator performs the first comparison when the switch is turned on, and wherein the comparator performs the second comparison when the switch is turned off.
