Abstract

A method, apparatus, and system to control a multi-phase converter having at least one power channel with a plurality of power modules, and involves detecting the voltage and the current of the power modules, calculating a command voltage based on a product of a programmed virtual resistance and the detected current, and transmitting a command voltage signal to the power modules based on the calculated command voltage.
