Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for reducing electromagnetic interference in a power converter using phase hopping in conjunction with pulse width modulation are disclosed. An example power converter includes an input voltage to, when a control switching device receives a first voltage, increase an output voltage; and when the control switching device receives a second voltage, decrease the output voltage. The example power converter further includes a phase hopping generator to generate a phase varying signal corresponding to two or more phases, the phase varying signal corresponding to a reference voltage; and output the phase varying signal to control the control switching device.
