Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a driver is configured to adjust a phase offset of driver control signals between corresponding switches of the same phase of the primary converter and the secondary converter consistent with the target power transfer and the estimated electromagnetic circuit inductance (e.g., comprising a leakage inductance), to minimize thermal energy dissipated from the direct-current-to-direct current converter or its transformer for the sampling time interval.
