Abstract:
A multi-phase synchronous converter consisting of a plurality of half bridges which in turn consist of an upper power switch and a lower power switch, the converter being actuated by a pulse width modulation dependent on a predetermined pulse duty cycle in the range of zero to one hundred percent. The multi-phase synchronous converter generates an output current and is operated in a normal mode in which the power switches switch with a normal switching period defined by a predetermined normal switching frequency, and a normal pulse duration dependent on the actual pulse duty cycle. As soon as the pulse duty cycle exceeds an upper duty cycle threshold or falls below a lower duty cycle threshold, the multi-phase synchronous converter is switched from the normal mode into an operating mode in which at least one of the power switches of at least one half bridge is deactivated.

Claim (Index 9):
The method according to  claim 7 , wherein the first positive output current threshold corresponds to the second positive output current threshold and/or that the first negative output current threshold corresponds to the second negative output current threshold.
