<p>A scalable, interleaved pulse forming converter (40) is disclosed having two Buck switching converter modules (A1, Q1, L1, D1 and A2, Q2, L2, D2) each contributing half to the total load of the circuit to produce a programmable current pulse. Synchronization pulses (42) to the two modules are set 180 degrees out of phase of each other to reduce ripple current. The invention is susceptible to various interleaved modifications to further reduce ripple current and increase power, as well as to electrically isolate the load (48) from input (Vb) or battery ground.</p> |
