Abstract:
The present embodiments relate generally to DC-DC converters, and more particularly to methods and apparatuses for preservation of phase-interleaving in a hysteretic multiphase buck controller. In one or more embodiments, a notch filter is placed in the compensation loop. The notch frequency can be adjusted to match the switching frequency of the controller, and automatically tuned to account for changes to the switching frequency introduced by controller RC components. According to additional aspects, phase interleaving is preserved even during large duty cycles.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the notch filter has a resonant frequency based on the resistance and capacitance values.
