Managing Currents in Dual- Synchronous Controllers

Focus:

Determining the negative inductor currents that flow in a two-phase, dual PWM controller under no-load or light load conditions

What you’ll learn:

• How to calculate the negative inductor current that flows in a two-phase, dual synchronous controller under no-load conditions.
• How to calculate the minimum load needed to prevent negative inductor currents in two-phase, dual synchronous controllers
