Figure 37, flying capacitor application time<br />

Figure 37 indicates that there is a maximum k 2 of 1/M, M indicating the number of cells that<br />

can be operated interleaved. This can correspond with the number of cells within a giv<strong>en</strong> MC<br />

converter, or it can be a higher number based on series connected MC’s or a combination of MC<br />

and FS cells. This number M does not necessarily correspond with N for all topologies. N is the<br />

ratio of input supply voltage of the converter over one output voltage level (or lowest capacitor<br />

voltage), whereas M can refer to only a portion of the whole converter. In the case of the MC<br />

converter N equals M; in the case of the SMC or the ANPC1 and ANPC2, N equals 2 times M.<br />

The switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy may also vary <strong>de</strong>p<strong>en</strong>ding on topology and operating point. A factor k f_sw<br />

shall be <strong>de</strong>fined to express the actual switching frequ<strong>en</strong>cy in function of a base frequ<strong>en</strong>cy<br />

corresponding with a pure MC converter operation. Starting from Figure 37, the total flying<br />

capacitor <strong>en</strong>ergy of all consi<strong>de</strong>red topologies can be calculated.
