6.3.5 Multi-phase Operation

External synchronization also facilitates using more than 2 phases for interleaving. Multiple UCC28070A devices can easily be paralleled to add an even number of additional phases for higher-power applications. With appropriate phase-shifting of the synchronization signals, even more input and output ripple current cancellation can be obtained. (An odd number of phases can be accommodated if desired, but the ripple cancellation would not be optimal.) For 4-, 6-, or any 2 × n-phases (where n = the number of UCC28070A controllers), each controller must receive a SYNC signal which is 360/n degrees out of phase with each other. For a 4-phase application interleaving with two controllers, SYNC1 must be 180° out of phase with SYNC2 for optimal ripple cancellation. Similarly for a 6-phase system, SYNC1, SYNC2, and SYNC3 must be 120° out of phase with each other for optimal ripple cancellation.

In a multi-phase interleaved system, each current loop is independent and treated separately; however, there is only one common voltage loop. To maintain a single control loop, all VSENSE, VINAC, SS, IMO, and VAO signals are paralleled, respectively between the n controllers. Where current-source outputs are combined (SS, IMO, VAO), the calculated load impedances must be adjusted by 1/n to maintain the same performance as with a single controller.

Figure 6-1 illustrates the paralleling of two controllers for a 4-phase, 90-degree-interleaved PFC system.
