27.4.3 Multiphase converters
Multiphase techniques can be applied to multiple power conversion topologies (buck,
flyback). Their main benefits are:
• Reduction of the current ripple on the input and output capacitors
• Reduced EMI
• Higher efficiency at light load by dynamically changing the number of phases (phase
shedding)
The HRTIM manages multiple converters. The number of converters that can be controlled
depends on the topologies and resources used (including the ADC triggers):
• 5 buck converters with synchronous rectification (SR), using the master timer and the 5
timers
• 4 buck converters (without SR), using the master timer and 2 timers
Figure 265 presents the topology of a 3-phase interleaved buck converter.
