Abstract
A converter module for use as a phase in a multiphase DC-DC converter having a data bus for transferring current-sharing information is provided. The converter module includes a power stage and a controller. The power stage comprises an input for receiving an input voltage and an output for providing an output voltage and an output current. The controller is coupled to the power stage to receive a feedback signal from the power stage. The controller further comprises a data bus port configured to receive the current-sharing information from the data bus and provide updated current-sharing information to the data bus.
