A comparison between two-phase and three-phase interlaced DC converter with parallel MOSFET is presented. PWM is evaluated using a two-way DC-DC converter to charge and discharge a battery. The results show an excellent DC voltage gain without an extremely high cycle load. The interlaced DC-DC converters with MOSFETs in parallel in two and three phases offer distinct advantages and limitations. The two-phase converter has a simpler design and a potentially lower cost due to the reduced number of components. However, it can present challenges in terms of precise voltage regulation and current balancing, due to the limited number of switching phases. On the other hand, the three-phase converter offers more precise voltage regulation and improved current balance thanks to its higher number of phases. While this results in increased design complexity and potentially higher cost, it allows for a more uniform distribution of current load among MOSFETs. The choice between the two will depend on the specific requirements of the application, acceptable trade-offs in terms of complexity, cost and performance, as well as the need for accurate voltage regulation and optimal current balancing.
