ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,463,539, issued on Nov. 4, was assigned to Rohm Co. Ltd. (Kyoto, Japan).

"Control device of multi-phase DC/DC converter and multi-phase DC/DC converter" was invented by Takuro Matsui (Kyoto, Japan).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The present disclosure provides a control device of a multi-phase DC/DC converter. The control device generates an error signal between a feedback voltage and a reference voltage according to an output voltage. For each channel, a detected current value of a target current is derived by A/D converting the target current flowing through a switching transistor during an ON period of the switching transistor. A PWM si...
