Abstract

See full text

An error amplifier amplifies a difference between a feedback signal VFB that corresponds to an output voltage VOUT of a DC/DC converter and its target value VREF, so as to generate an error signal VERR. A pulse width modulator for each channel is configured as a peak current mode modulator comprising a PWM comparator that compares a current detection signal VIS with the error signal VERR, and a logic circuit. When the number of enabled channels is switched, a soft shedding circuit selects at least one channel as a correction target channel. The soft shedding circuit generates a correction signal VCORR for each correction target channel, and superimposes each correction signal VCORR on at least one of two inputs of the corresponding PWM comparator.
