Abstract
A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, controlling a power supply system to avoid an over-voltage event across one or more switching devices of the power supply system, the controlling step based on switching overlap information that includes instructions for either advancing or retarding a switching signal associated with at least one of the switching devices.
Claims13
A method, comprising:
- controlling a power supply system to avoid an over-voltage event across one or more switching devices of the power supply system, the controlling step based on switching overlap information that includes instructions for advancing one or more pulse edges of a switching signal associated with at least one of the switching devices;
- and
- prioritizing one switching signal over another based on bus bar geometry when determining which switching signal should be advanced.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
