After shortening the PWM cycle in block 608, the voltage controller then obtains updated voltage measurements in block 602.

In some embodiments of method 600, multiple converters may be present at a phase shift that is designed to facilitate delivery of smooth power. In these embodiments, it may be beneficial to maintain the phase shift of the multiple converters when the PWM period is decreased in block 608. In these embodiments, it may be necessary to design the (or one of the) voltage controllers as a high-speed ASIC or custom PWM peripheral in order to provide greater capability for the voltage controller to recalculate phase offsets quickly.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a voltage decision or command to set a converter to a particular state (e.g., an “off” state or an “on” state) is disclosed. Those embodiments may include changing the converter from a prior state (e.g., off) to a new state (e.g., on). However, it is also contemplated to be consistent with the embodiments of the present disclosure for a decision or command to “set” a converter to a particular state to include maintaining the converter at that state. For example, a command for a converter to turn “on” may include maintaining the “on” state of the converter if the converter is already in the “on” state when the command is issued. Similarly, a decision for a converter to turn “off” may include maintaining the “off” state of the converter if the converter is already in the “off” state when the decision is made.
