  • Publication number: 20250125453
    Abstract: A power transmission unit and a method for controlling the current flowing through it are disclosed. The power transmission unit includes a first switch which is turned on and off at a first duty cycle; a second switch which is turned on and off at a second duty cycle that is less than the first duty cycle; an inductive element connected between the first switch and the second switch, with its current associated with the first and second duty cycles; and a controller configured to determine a total duty cycle as the sum of the first and second duty cycles based on an actual phase current and a desired phase current of the inductive element, and to adjust the first and second duty cycles based on the determined total duty cycle. Embodiments of the present disclosure adjust both the first and second duty cycles through the total duty cycle, which changes with the total duty cycle, allowing both the first and second duty cycles to be adjusted to appropriate values.
