Abstract
A method of balancing voltages on flying capacitors in a multilevel power converter is provided (along with an associated controller). The power converter includes one or more flying capacitors. Pairs of switches in the power converter are controlled by pulse width modulated (PWM) control signals. The different pairs of switches are controlled by PWM control signals having a phase/timing shift between them. To balance the voltage on the one or more flying capacitors, one set of pulses can be widened or narrowed while another set is widened or narrowed. To change their widths, one edge of each pulse is modulated, while the other edge is unchanged. More specifically, the leading edge of one set of pulses is modulated, while the trailing edge of the other set of pulses is modulated.
