    Abstract: A chopper assembly including at least two chopper units, and a controlling unit configured to generate a control signal for controlling an activation of the corresponding chopper unit in cycle. The activations of the at least two chopper units are controlled by the controlling unit to be either initially offset by a phase shift or adjusted to have a phase shift after a predefined time duration, the phase shift indicating a time difference between rising edges or between falling edges of respective pulses of different signals. The chopper assembly according to the present disclosure effectively mitigates the negative impact to various components within the circuit. Moreover, by controlling the duty cycles of the control signals, loads of each of the resistors will be equal.
