A Novel Control Scheme for Voltage Regulators with Coupled Inductors and Discrete Inductor

This paper describes a novel control scheme for voltage regulators(VRs) with hybrid implementation of both coupled inductors and discrete inductor. The proposed control policy optimizes both output current ripple and inductor copper loss balance. Detailed theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in extending the application of coupled inductor-based VRs to odd phase counts.
