Controlling Multiple Buck Converters With Same Frequencies
If synchronization is a requirement, ePWM module 2 can be configured as a slave and can operate at
integer multiple (N) frequencies of module 1. The sync signal from master to slave ensures these modules
remain locked. Figure 3-5 shows such a configuration; Figure 3-6 shows the waveforms generated by the
configuration.
