Abstract

A circuit for transmitting power. A controller circuit transmits n command signals. N power converter circuits are coupled with the controller circuit, and respectively receive the n command signals. The n power converter circuits respectively transmit n pulse width modulated signals as a function of the n command signals, with the n pulse width modulated signals being out of phase by approximately 360/n degrees.
