Inhalt:
In this paper, we intend to show that it is possible to obtain advantages in technology selection thanks to the use of the interleaving technique with a very high number of phases. High switching frequency is usually applied to low power converters only, can be used also in medium power converters. It will be seen that there is no penalization in the efficiency and advantages regarding the thermal management can be achieved.
