8.1.3 Interleaved Boost Configuration

Interleaved operation offers many advantages in single output, high current applications such as higher efficiency, lower component stresses and reduced input and output ripple. For dual phase interleaved operation, the output power path is split reducing the input current in each phase by one-half. Ripple currents in the input and output capacitors are reduced significantly since each channel operates 180 degrees out of phase from the other. Shown in Figure 30 is a normalized (IRMS / IOUT) output capacitor ripple current vs duty cycle for both a single phase and dual phase boost converter, where IRMS is the output current ripple RMS.

To configure for dual phase interleaved operation, configure one device as a master and configure the other device in slave mode by connecting FB to VCC. Also connect COMP, UVLO, RES, SS and SYNCOUT on the master side to COMP, UVLO, RES, SS and SYNCIN on slave side, respectively. The compensation network is connected between master FB and the common COMP connection. The output capacitors of the two power stages are connected together at the common output.

Shown in Figure 32 is a dual phase timing diagram. The 180° phase shift is realized by connecting SYNCOUT on the master side to the SYNCIN on the slave side.

Each channel is synchronized by an individual external clock in Figure 33. The SYNCOUT pin is used in Figure 34 requiring only one external clock source. A 50% duty cycle of external synchronization pulse should be always provided with this daisy chain configuration.

Current sharing between phases is achieved by sharing one error amplifier output of the master controller with the 3 slave controllers. Resistor sensing is a preferred method of current sensing to accurately balance the phase currents.
