Abstract
An apparatus includes a plurality of high-side switching elements connected in parallel between a first voltage bus and a switching node, wherein each high-side switching element of the plurality of high-side switching elements is controlled by a corresponding high-side driver, and a plurality of low-side switching elements connected in parallel between the switching node and a second voltage bus, wherein each low-side switching element of the plurality of low-side switching elements is controlled by a corresponding low-side driver, and wherein based on at least one operating parameter, the plurality of high-side switching elements and the plurality of low-side switching elements are controlled such that the plurality of high-side switching elements and the plurality of low-side switching elements form a reconfigurable power stage of a power converter.
