A reduced pin count, dual channel driver interface is configured to interface
a
supervisory controller with a plurality of multi-phase output channel switching
circuits of a multi-phase DC-DC regulator. Each dual channel driver is configured
for placement relatively close to output channel sense points, so as to effectively
reduce the distance that would otherwise have to be traversed by noise sensitive
voltage signals. Sensed current representative signals are processed within the
dual driver for current balance between a respective multi driver pair, and are
combined to supply the controller with the average current signal of the dual channels.
The controller uses this average current-information to adjust respective pulse
width modulation signals that are supplied to the dual channel drivers.
