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 35):
A method comprising:\n calculating a duty ratio of each of a plurality of pulse signals, the plurality of pulse signals output from a plurality of pulse width modulation (PWM) circuits; calculating a latency for at least one pulse signal of the plurality of pulse signal; and providing a latency set value to the at least one pulse signal, the latency set value configured to avoid edge collisions of the plurality of pulse signals, wherein the latency set value is derived from a comparison of a set of data values indicative of edge conditions for each of the plurality of pulse signals.
