Conversion apparatus, device, and control method

Abstract:

A conversion apparatus includes: a conversion module having plural phases, each including a converter and a sensor, in which the plural phases are electrically connected in parallel, and a controller. The controller includes a first unit for determining a basic duty ratio common to all of the plural phases, so that an input or an output of the conversion module becomes equal to a target voltage or a target current, a second unit for determining a correction duty ratio and correcting the basic duty ratio for each of the plural converters, and a generator for generating the control signal based on the basic duty ratio and the correction duty ratio. The second unit determines the correction duty ratio based on a difference between plural phase currents respectively flowing in the plural converters. The basic duty ratio is equal to or greater than an absolute value of the correction duty ratio.
