A PWM system that minimizes output ripple of a multiphase DC-DC converter
which converts N input voltages including at least one dissimilar input
voltage. The PWM system includes PWM waveform logic that generates N PWM
signals including a PWM signal for each of the N input voltages, and PWM
control logic that optimizes relative phases of the N PWM signals based
on voltage levels of the N input voltages. Various circuits and/or
methods are contemplated for optimizing phase, including, for example,
centering pulses for each PWM cycle, distributing pulses based on
predetermined optimal phase angles, determining input voltage levels and
selecting predetermined optimal phase angles, generating phase signals
employing predetermined phase angles, measuring input voltages and
calculating optimal phase angles, and using PLL logic or the like to
measure and equalize off-times between PWM pulses.
