Abstract:
A phase controller includes a plurality of pulse width modulation (PWM) circuits, a plurality of switching devices, a computing unit, and a latency generator. The plurality of PWM circuits output pulse signals. The plurality of switching devices are coupled to the respective plurality of PWM circuits, and switch on and off based on the pulse signals. The computing unit calculates the pulse signals to be output from the plurality of PWM circuits, based on outputs of the plurality of switching devices. The latency generator generates latency in any of the pulse signals so that edge positions of the pulse signals output from the plurality of PWM circuits do not collide with each other, wherein the pulse signals change values at the edge positions.

Claim (Index 28):
A method comprising:\n evaluating a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal, the evaluating to detect an edge collision between the first and second pulse signals; if an edge collision between the first and second pulse signals is detected, shifting the second pulse signal; if an edge collision between the first and second pulse signals is not detected:\n evaluating the first pulse signal and a third pulse signal, the evaluating to detect an edge collision between the first and third pulse signals, and \n evaluating the second pulse signal and the third pulse signal, the evaluating to detect an edge collision between the second and third pulse signals, \n if an edge collision between either the first and third pulse signals or the second and third pulse signals is detected, shifting the third pulse signal by one bit, and if the third pulse signal is shifted for one period, shifting the second pulse signal by one bi; if an edge collision between either the first and third pulse signals or the second and third pulse signals is not detected, determining that no edge collision is present.
