A system is disclosed for controlling a plurality of pulse-width-modulated
switching power converters. The system includes a sample and hold circuit
which is configured to receive information at time-separated intervals.
The information the sample and hold circuit receives includes information
which is indicative of the performance of the power converters. In some
embodiments, the sample and hold circuit takes samples of data from each
of the switching power converters and provides information to an analog
to digital conversion circuit coupled to the sample and hold circuit. In
one embodiment, the plurality of pulse-width-modulated switching power
are configured to independently provide power to unrelated loads.
