This invention is an improvement to a multi-level, multi-phase power supply. Typically, in such power supplies, each of the phases has one or more power cells providing a pulse width modulated output. In such a configuration, when the transition of the pulse width modulated outputs of corresponding power cells in different phases occurs simultaneously, a double step in voltage is observed on the output of the power cell. This invention is an improvement over the prior art wherein the transitions of the outputs of the power cells are controlled to avoid simultaneous transitions.
