This can reduce wiring complexity, improve regulation and save cost, if not all the voltages are needed for every system configuration.<\/p>\n<p>System circuitry can be noise sensitive, particularly when digital imaging techniques are being used in medical equipment or high-resolution microscopes.  Multiple DC-DC converters operating at different switching frequencies, particularly if the frequencies vary with input voltage or output load, can dramatically interfere with image resolution.  Even using fixed frequency converters, the tolerance on individual switching circuits can lead to sub-harmonic beat frequencies.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Significant filtering on the inputs and outputs of the converters is one solution, although it can be complex over a wide frequency bandwidth and very time consuming for the development engineer. A second solution is to use fixed switching frequency DC-DC converters and synchronise them to a master clock.  With just one frequency to be concerned with, on-board and system filtering is made simpler and easier. Although somewhat uncommon, there are some DC-DC converters that have a synchronisation capability. The i6A series of 250W non-isolated DC-DC converters, for example, has this option, and multiple units can be configured to synchronise their operating frequencies.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to output noise reduction, the i6A offers a 180-degree phase shift (delay) function, which reduces the RMS input current, ripple and noise, the amount of input capacitance needed and losses in the input filters. Figure 1 shows a comparison of the input currents of two converters with a 180-degree phase shift and without a phase shift.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4582\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4582\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uk.tdk-lambda.com\/uk\/files\/2018\/06\/input-currents-300x298.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tdklambdablog.wpenginepowered.com\/uk\/files\/2018\/06\/input-currents-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tdklambdablog.wpenginepowered.com\/uk\/files\/2018\/06\/input-currents-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tdklambdablog.wpenginepowered.com\/uk\/files\/2018\/06\/input-currents-768x762.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tdklambdablog.wpenginepowered.com\/uk\/files\/2018\/06\/input-currents-1024x1016.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-4582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 1: Phase shifting input current comparison<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By offsetting converter B\u2019s input current by 180 degrees, the peak and RMS input current is reduced significantly.<br \/>\nThe i6A converters can be configured to synchronise the switching frequencies and enable phase shifting in four ways:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.\t<strong>Master \/ Slave, with no phase shift <\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\nOne module is designated as the \u201cmaster\u201d and the other module or modules will operate at the master\u2019s switching frequency.
