Method of controlling a boost converter and multiphase boost converter and use of the same

摘要

The method involves dividing a current path between a rectifier for rectifying the mains alternating voltage and the load into at least two parallel current channels that are driven by mutually phase shifted start signals, operating one channel as a master channel that maintains its cyclical operation autonomously and the at least one further channel as a slave channel, whose start signal is produced by a central control unit (muC) depending on an output signal of the master channel. An independent claim is also included for (A) a multi-channel up converter for implementing the inventive method (B) and a method of.
