A hierarchical control for an integrated voltage regulator may include a
voltage regulator circuit with a plurality of parallel voltage cells,
with each of the cells having a plurality of phases of interleaved
voltage converters, and a feedback control associated with the cells to
set identical current references for the phases. A multi-rail embodiment
has a plurality of parallel voltage regulator circuits each with a
plurality of parallel voltage cells, with each of the cells having a
plurality of phases of interleaved voltage converters, and a feedback
control associated with the circuits to sense parameters of the circuits
and set identical parameter references for the phases.
