Abstract

We consider interleaved buck converters using a switching rule based on Winner-Take-All (ab. WTA) nonlinearity. We clarify that this system exhibits various bifurcation phenomena. We also show that the switching phase of each converter is controlled by the WTA. Using a simple test circuit, ripple reduction and typical phenomena are verified in the laboratory.
