Controlling Multiple Buck Converters With Same Frequencies
3.4Controlling Multiple Buck Converters With Same Frequencies
If synchronization is a requirement, ePWM module 2 can be configured as a slave and can operate at integer multiple (N) frequencies of module 1. The sync signal from master to slave ensures these modules remain locked. Figure
Figure 3-5. Control of Four Buck Stages. (Note: FPWM2 = N x FPWM1)
