    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for compensating input voltage ripples of an interleaved boost converter using cycle times. In an embodiment, a phase compensator receives a first duty cycle measurement of a first converter and a second duty cycle measurement of a second converter, compares the first duty cycle to the second duty cycle and generates a phase compensation in response thereto. A phase combiner combines a phase adjustment output and the phase compensation and produces a phase control output, and a cycle controller is coupled to the first and the second converters to generate a first drive signal to control switching of the first converter and to generate a second drive signal to control switching of the second converter, wherein a time of the second drive signal is adjusted using the phase control output.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are described for controlling the gain of a phase loop of an interleaved boost converter using cycle signals. In an embodiment, a phase compensator compares a duration of the power phase of a converter to a cycle duration for the converter to generate a phase compensation. A phase adjustment module receives phase feedback signals of the first and second converters, measures the phase difference, receives the phase compensation, and generates a phase control output in response. A cycle controller receives the phase control output and generates first and second drive signals to control switching of first and second gates of the respective converters, wherein times of the first and second drive signals are adjusted using the phase control output.

    摘要: Adaptive enabling and disabling is described for valley switching in a power factor correction boost converter. In one example, a boost converter control system includes an amplitude detector to receive an amplitude signal from a boost converter that is related to ringing of the boost converter output. The amplitude detector determines the ringing amplitude. A valley switching controller compares the ringing amplitude to a first high amplitude threshold when valley switching is enabled and generates a valley switching disable signal if the ringing amplitude is below the first high amplitude threshold. A cycle controller coupled to the boost converter generates a drive signal to control switching of the boost converter and coupled to the valley switching controller receives the valley switching disable signal to generate the drive signal without valley switching in response to the valley switching disable signal.
