However, with higher power ratings, multi-leg configurations become attractive. By interleaving the operation of converter legs, filtering requirements can often be facilitated, hence improving the overall power density and system dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The architecture of a multiphase buck is presented below. It consists, in this case, of a four legs design.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"221\" src=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Interleaved_buck_schem-3.png\" alt=\"Interleaved buck converter schematic\" class=\"wp-image-5399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Interleaved_buck_schem-3.png 570w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Interleaved_buck_schem-3-300x116.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Interleaved buck converter schematic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The primary benefit of a multiphase design is the possible reduction of the output current ripple, thanks to interleaving [1]. Indeed, by appropriately phase-shifting the current ripples of the individual buck converters, some ripple compensation can be achieved, as well as an increase of the apparent switching frequency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, a phase offset of \\(\\frac{2\\pi}{N}\\) is used in between legs, where N is the number of legs. The following graph, taken from [2], illustrates the magnitude of the output current ripple as a function of the duty cycle. It shows the possible reduction of the output current ripple depending on the number of legs. Also, this demonstrates that a perfect compensation of the current ripples can (theoretically) be achieved for specific duty cycle values.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"685\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/b956a851-7b06-422a-a109-3aa7d4c7a6e5.png\" alt=\"Relative evolution of the output current ripple as a function of the duty cycle, for different numbers of interleaved legs.\" class=\"wp-image-4562\" style=\"width:463px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/b956a851-7b06-422a-a109-3aa7d4c7a6e5.png 685w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/b956a851-7b06-422a-a109-3aa7d4c7a6e5-300x239.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 685px) 100vw, 685px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Relative evolution of the output current ripple as a function of the duty cycle, for different numbers of interleaved legs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-current-sampling-within-an-interleaved-converter\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Current-sampling-within-an-interleaved-converter\"><\/span>Current sampling within an interleaved converter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order not to reduce the achievable control bandwidth unnecessarily, synchronous sampling is often used for the control of buck converters. Typically, when sampling the current in the middle of the switching period, the retrieved, unfiltered, value is already equal to the average current value (provided that the converter operates in continuous conduction mode). Then, as explained in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/help\/discrete-control-delay\">PN142: Discrete control delay identification<\/a>, the latency of the control system can be easily identified and minimized, hence maximizing the achievable closed-loop bandwidth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in an interleaved converter, achieving the same behavior isn&#8217;t trivial. Therefore, careful configuration of the sampling and implementation of the control is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Case-study-four-legs-interleaved-buck-converter\"><\/span>Case study: four legs interleaved buck converter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The objective of the following sections is to provide the key concepts to consider for the proper sampling configuration of interleaved converters. It is to be noted that, although these concepts would remain similar, the exact sampling configuration will differ depending on the number of interleaved converters. To provide a practical example, this article will consider the case of four interleaved buck converters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-single-sampling-instant\">Single sampling instant<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As aforementioned, interleaving buck converters is done by phase-shifting the current ripples. Sampling the different currents are the same time will then results in different instantaneous values, as illustrated below. This is therefore an inconvenient approach regarding the balancing of the current among the phase-legs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Buck4_I_Mean-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5010\" style=\"width:532px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Buck4_I_Mean-1.png 450w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Buck4_I_Mean-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inconsistent-control-delays\">Inconsistent control delays<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, sampling all currents in the middle of their respective ripple requires different sampling instants. Therefore, implementing phase-shifted sampling together with a unique computation loop unavoidably introduces different delays and results in inconsistent control dynamics, which are difficult to evaluate and tune. More details related to PI-based current control strategies can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/implementation\/pi-controller\">PI controller implementation for current control<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This drawback is illustrated in the figure below: without special care, samples of different &#8220;ages&#8221; are processed together, and the resulting PWM update time varies from one carrier to the other. Consequently, the overall control delay varies among the phase-legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A possible approach to mitigate this phenomenon would be to make sure that the duration of the computation itself is sufficiently long so that the PWM parameters resulting from the most recent samples are not updated &#8220;too early&#8221;. For instance, if the duration of the computation ranges from 50% to 75% of the PWM period, all phase-legs feature the same overall control delay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1155\" height=\"1251\" src=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image.png 1155w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-277x300.png 277w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-945x1024.png 945w, https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/image-768x832.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1155px) 100vw, 1155px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-solution-for-four-interleaved-legs\">A solution for four interleaved legs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>With four phase-legs, a preferable sampling configuration would be to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> Configure only two sampling instants, one with a phase offset of 90\u00b0 and another with an offset of 180\u00b0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Configure the PWM update instant at the top of the triangles for carrier 1 and carrier 2. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Doing so, every current will be sampled in the middle of its ripple which will ensure proper balancing of the total current among the phase-legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total control delay is also guaranteed to be the same for each individual buck converters, as long as the computation time is shorter than 25% of the PWM period.

More information can be found on the page <a href=\"https:\/\/imperix.com\/doc\/help\/synchronous-averaging\">Synchronous averaging<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the intrinsic nature of synchronous averaging, it is never possible to get the same control delays for each leg of an interleaved converter.
