Inductor Current Measurement and Regulation Using a Single DC Link Current Sensor for Interleaved DC–DC Converters

摘要

Inductor current measurements using only a single dc link current sensor in an interleaved dc–dc converter is introduced in this paper. This technique is appealing for the interleaved dc–dc converter because it minimizes the number of current sensors, thereby reducing sensor cost, weight, and volume. A combination of analytical and experimental results is provided to confirm that the single dc link current sensor technique is capable of achieving attractive performance characteristics in the areas of inductor current reconstruction, inductor current regulation, and output voltage regulation for the interleaved dc–dc converter.
