In this article, a bidirectional discontinuous-conduction-mode constant on-time variable-frequency control strategy for a three-phase interleaved dc-dc converter suitable for traction applications is proposed. The strategy enhances efficiency at low-power conditions and provides fairly constant efficiency over the entire power range by synchronously controlling both the bottom and top switches of the three boost phases. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach on a 10-kW bidirectional interleaved boost converter.
