Abstract

Described is a controller for an AC to DC or a DC to AC multi-phase power converter of a type having N power converter phases, where N is greater or equal to 2. The controller comprises a control module configured to change or vary a phase shift angle of the input current or output current for each of the N power converter phases such that an average phase shift value for each of said N power converter phases over a control module AC line cycle is about, near or substantially the same value. In an embodiment of an AC / DC or a DC / AC multi-phase power converter of a type having N power converter phases arranged in parallel, an advantage of arranging the average phase shift value for each power converter phase to be substantially equal or about equal over an AC line cycle is that it reduces or eliminates any imbalances in the input currents or output currents of the N power converter phases. In preferred arrangements, the control module varies the phase shift angle of the input current or the output current for each of the N power converter phases over each AC line cycle using respective PWM switch control signals.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to controllers for AC to DC or DC to AC multiphase power converters, and more particularly to an AC to DC or DC power converter for sharing or balancing current among multiple power converter phases Controller for AC multi-phase power converters. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, single-phase power converters have been commonly used. However, such converters are increasingly unable to meet the high power ratings and high power density requirements of many modern electronic devices. Multi-phase power converters are one of the main solutions to power rating and power density problems, but one problem encountered with multi-phase power converters is that current imbalances can occur between the phases, which can lead to power converter failure . [0003] Multiphase power converters are now widely used as power supplies for electronic equipment such as computer systems to provide a stable voltage for mi...
