Abstract: A multiphase DC to DC voltage converter which has multiple converter cells which are situated parallel to one another and are clocked with a time offset. Furthermore, it contains one magnetic measuring bridge between the outputs of each two converter cells.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for optimizing the efficiency of an energy system, which system has at least one energy unit that is coupled to a control unit and a DC/DC converter for regulating the power output of the energy unit, and the control unit regulates the power output to an electrical component via the DC/DC converter as a function of an operating state of the energy system. According to the invention, it is provided that the energy unit communicates with an observer via a first information channel, and information from the energy unit is transmitted during the operation of the energy system via the first information channel to the observer, which from the transmitted information ascertains the efficiency performance of the energy unit and transmits the efficiency performance to the control unit via a second information channel, as a result of which the overall efficiency of the energy system is improved.

Abstract: A multiphase DC/DC converter has multiple converter cells that are arranged in parallel to one another and clocked in a time-staggered manner. Equipped on the input side and/or output side of the converter cells is a voltage sensor or a current sensor. The latter is connected via an analog-digital converter to a separator, which is provided for separating the output signal of the analog-digital converter into voltage or current values associated with the individual phases of the converter. The separator is connected to a control system, which on the output side provides control signals influencing the clock signals of the converter cells.
