PRODUCTION DATA
Interleaved operation offers many advantages in high current applications such as higher efficiency, lower component stresses and reduced input and output ripple. For dual phase interleaved operation, the output power path is split reducing the input current in each phase by one-half. Ripple currents in the input and output capacitors are reduced significantly since each channel operates 180 degrees out of phase from the other. As shown in Figure 7-6, the input current ripple is reduced significantly.
Here, 1phase is selected for the design:
The total power Pout_total is shared among phases, the power of each phase is found as:
