LOAD BALANCED SPLIT-PHASE MODULATION AND HARMONIC CONTROL OF DC-DC CONVERTER PAIR/COLUMN FOR REDUCED EMI AND SMALLER EMI FILTERS

摘要

A novel circuit scheme and control includes a plurality of identical DC-DC converters with an optimal modulation/harmonic controller and a load balancing portion or process in an integral and systematic design methodology. The modulation/harmonic controller can be configured to control the individual modules in an optimal and coordinated way in the time domain so as to substantially reduce or eliminate a large amount of high-frequency input current harmonics, thus reducing EMI, weight, and size and increasing redundancy. The load balancing portion or process can balance the loads on the converters in real time or offline.
