Abstract
The present invention relates to a switching synchronization method of parallel converter system, wherein one of converters is the host and the others are slave converters. The host converter includes a first timer and a pulse-transmitting device, and the slave converter includes a second timer, pulse capture device, and a synchronization adjustment. At a fixed time Tk the host converter sends a synchronization pulse to the synchronization bus through the pulse-transmitting device; and in the slave converter the second timer records the time Tx of the edge of the synchronization pulse received by the pulse capture device from the synchronization bus. The synchronization adjuster adjusts the second timer of the slave converter so as to synchronize it with the first timer of the host converter in accordance with the relationship between the times Tk and Tx; and then according to a predetermined protocol, the switching carrier timer of the slave converter so as to be adjusted to synchronize with the switching carrier timer of the host converter.
