Abstract
The invention concerns a device (3) for synchronizing at least two DC/DC converters. It is characterized in that it comprises receiving means (21A, 21B, 23A, 23B) for receiving a switching signal generated by each of the converters; means (25) for detecting a transition type of the received switching signals; means (27) for generating a synchronization signal when a transition is detected; and means (27, S1, S2) for supplying the synchronization signal to one of the converters, said means (27, S1, S2) being configured to supply the synchronization signal to a different converter and in an order of succession each time a transition is detected.
