Abstract

See full text

A switching power supply includes a plurality of parallel branches, each parallel branch including two serially connected controllable switches and a coil connected between the two switches and an output node, a capacitor connected between the output node of the parallel branches and ground; and a controller configured to switch the two serially connected controllable switches of each parallel branch such that a first switch of a parallel branch is switched from a conducting state to a non-conducting state when a current flowing through a coil of the parallel branch reaches a first current value larger than 5 A, and such that the second switch is switched from a conducting state to a non-conducting state when the current flowing through the coil of the parallel branch reaches a second current value smaller than 0 A.
