ABSTRACT:
A DC-to-DC converter comprises a first power module, at least a second power module coupled to the first power module, and a protection circuit coupled to the first and second power modules. The protection circuit causes a system power good signal to be at a state indicative of a power problem when the protection circuit detects that a switching node of one of the power modules has ceased switching.
