In other embodiments of the present application, the control unit and the power module may be integrated by using a specific circuit architecture, where the power module uses a converter unit, and when a plurality of power modules operate in parallel, due to differences in hardware parameters of each converter, current is unevenly distributed when the converters operate in parallel. As shown in fig. 2, which is an equivalent circuit schematic diagram of two parallel converters, fig. 3 is a corresponding output characteristic curve of each converter, and when the converters are connected in parallel, the load current distribution situation of each converter is measured by a current error δn, and the expression is as follows:
Where N is the total number of parallel converters, I o is the total load current, DI n is the difference between the output current and the average load current.
As shown in fig. 4, in the foregoing embodiment, four-channel interleaved parallel Boost PFC topologies are integrally formed, the converter unit is a four-phase interleaved parallel Boost PFC converter operating in an inductor current Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) mode, parameters of each phase unit of the converter are consistent, that is, L 1=L2=L3=L4 =l, and the switching frequencies f s of the four channels are equal, the duty ratios of the four channels are d y, the rise time of the inductor current is d yTs, and the fall time of the inductor current is d RTs. Therefore, in DCM, the rectified input current average i g (i.e., inductor current area×1/T s) is the sum of four channel inductor current averages, i.e.,:
In one switching period, the switching tube is conducted, the inductive current rises, and the peak value i L_peak of the inductive current rises:
in Boost converters, the principle of volt-second equilibrium is well known:
The rectified input current i g expression can be obtained by combining the following formulas (1-2) - (1-4):
When the converter works stably, the duty ratio d R is a fixed value, and the equation (1-5) shows that the rectified input current is not a standard sine half-wave in the steady state, and the sine degree is influenced by the boosting parameter V peak/voi. Let k=v peak/voi, the input current i in is available from (1-5):
In order for the input current to follow the input voltage with a sinusoidal law, the duty cycle needs to be varied as follows:
Where D 0 is the gain factor related to power and V o is the output average voltage.
Substituting formula (1-7) into (1-6) to obtain:

Ideally, the converter has no power loss, and according to the power balance principle P in=Po, the gain factor K can be obtained:
The duty cycle d y (t) of the combined type (1-7), (1-13) is expressed as follows:
in combination with the above, the output V comp of the PI compensator of the voltage loop of the converter is
Substituting equations (1-13), (1-15) into equations (1-6) yields a duty cycle i in (t) expressed as:
as can be seen from formulas (1-16), the input/output power satisfies
From equations (1-17), the input power is independent of the input voltage, the input voltage varies, and the compensator does not need any adjustment. Since DCM controls the non-sampled output current, each module is required to provide output current information in parallel current sharing control.
To know the input current
If the input current follows the input voltage, the current can be reconstructed as
Vpeak·sin(ωt)=vg,k=Vpeak/Vo
The duty ratio expression obtained from the formula (0-1) is
The average value of inductance current is
Then the duty cycle expression is as follows from equations 1-20 and equations 1-21
D o is PI controller output quantity for controlling input and output energy balance, and the simultaneous combination type (1-13), (1-22) can know
As can be seen from equations (1-23), the control amount output by the PI controller contains the input current, input voltage or output power information, and equations 1-22 are brought into equations 1-21 to obtain
The input power can be calculated as
Let the module efficiency be eta, the output power be
The output current is
The output current can be characterized by the input voltage, the output voltage and the PI control output V comp as shown in equations (1-12). The module parallel current sharing is realized by a current sharing function circuit, and the boost inductance of the L b four-phase staggered parallel converter.
In the embodiment of the application, a current equalizing function circuit shown in fig. 5 can be adopted, the output quantity of the sampling voltage ring PI control is operated, the operated digital quantity is converted into an analog quantity DAC_Iout through a DAC in the DSP, the DAC_Iout is connected with the in-phase input end of the operational amplifier, and the power supply supplies power to the operational amplifier after being filtered by a current limiting resistor and a capacitor. The inverting input end of the operational amplifier is grounded through an input resistor R g and is connected to the output end V outi of the operational amplifier through a feedback resistor R f.
The output voltage V outi of the op-amp is:
And the output voltage V outi (i=1, 2,.. N) of the operational amplifier is connected with a current sharing bus through a voltage dividing resistor, and the average voltage of the current sharing bus is V bus. According to kirchhoff's current law, the sum of the currents flowing into the bus bars from all branches is 0, and then:
The average voltage V bus of the current sharing bus is obtained as follows:
And a current-sharing bus pin in the current-sharing functional circuit is clamped to the DSP sampling voltage of 0-3.3V through a limiting diode, one end D of an S1 bidirectional switch is connected, the other end S of the bidirectional switch is connected with the average voltage V bus of the current-sharing bus, when a signal SEL of a control switch is at a high level, the voltages of a signal end S to be switched and a signal end D of the analog switch are equal, and the converter starts current-sharing control.
The output voltage V outi of the current equalizing function circuit is converted into a digital quantity V out_ADC by an ADC in the DSP after RC filtering, and is compared with a voltage signal V bus_ADC converted by average current of a current equalizing bus and then sent to the controller DSP to obtain a compensation quantity V refi' of voltage reference, so that the output current of each module is controlled to be equal to the output average current.
