Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An interleaved boost converter, comprising:
a first converter operating as a master converter to receive an input power and generate a first converted output power;
a second converter operating as a slave converter to receive the input power and generate a second converted output power, wherein the first converted output power and the second converted output power are interleaved;
a cycle controller to generate a first drive signal to control switching of the first converter and a second drive signal to control switching of the second converter, to receive a first cycle signal from the first converter and a second cycle signal from the second converter, wherein the first cycle signal and the second cycle signal have a power phase time corresponding to a power phase of a respective converter and a ringing phase time corresponding to a ringing phase of the respective converter,
the cycle controller to determine a master ringing phase time of the first cycle signal and to apply the master ringing phase time to the second cycle signal to determine a slave ringing phase time, the cycle controller generating the second drive signal in accordance with the slave ringing phase time.
